Package: gnome-panel
Severity: normal
Version: 1.5.11
Synopsis: Panels crash or lock when trying to remove a panel
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel
Bugzilla-Component: Panel
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (1.112.0)

Description:
Description of Problem:
I have multiple panels open.  When I try to remove one of them, the
panels often either lock or crash.

(I have successfully removed some panels, though.)

This is debugging output from one of the crashes.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.   Open some panels.
2.   Try to close some.

Actual Results:
Crashed panels.

Expected Results:
One less panel. :)

How often does this happen?
Often, but not always.

Possibly also related to bug 72296, which is basically yet another set
of traces from the same behavior.

Also note that bug 73019 has another distinct stack trace resulting
from the same behavior. It's wacky that so many different traces are
occuring with the identical behavior.

Comment 8 Chris Chabot 2002-03-04 09:17:56 UTC 
Please note this also happens when removing some of the applets (when
the applet does have a 'remove from panel' option ;-)

Comment 11 Luis Villa 2002-03-04 15:36:30 UTC 
Chris: FWIW, all applets should now have 'remove from panel' menus.
Please file a bug if that is not the case.
Comment 12 Gediminas Paulauskas 2002-03-07 22:36:51 UTC 
please try it now (make sure patch for 73224 is in)

if you can't make the panel crash by removing any applets/panels with
applets/empty panels (I can't), you can mark this bug as fixed or
duplicate of 73224
Comment 13 Chris Chabot 2002-03-07 23:16:48 UTC 
Confirmed that the patch (applied to gnome panel 1.3.12) fixes this
issue perfectly. Give my thanks to the guy who wrote it! ;-)
