Other information:
This bug is very annoying, because gnome-panel crashed at gnome startup. Even a reboot doesn't fix the problem.
The system became unusable. I was able to repair by using an alternate session (Ctr+Alt+F1) and then deleting some hidden files.
See #9 in the stack-trace for more info.
I'm not an expert and it took me about 1 hour to solve the problem, I remember the last action I did before gnome restart in a normal mode is to delete the file .XAuthority, but I'm not sure that's correct.
For now, each-time I start a gnome session, gnome-terminal, nautilus, xmms and gaim are started automatically. I will have a look in gnome-docs to understand why.

Of course don't hesitate to contact me if I can help.

Kind Regards,
Charles-henri.
