Description Paul Furness 2002-07-17 08:34:43 UTC 
Package: gnome-panel
Severity: minor
Version: 0.6
Synopsis: Gnome reports a panel already running and wants to start another
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel
Bugzilla-Component: Panel

Description:
I have installed 'goats,' a post-it notes application. I put an applet
for it on my Ximian panel, and created an auto-run entry through control
panel for it. It runs fine most of the time, but sometimes, when X is
starting up, I get an error that a panel is already running. If I say
'ok' to start a new one, it messes up the settings on my current panels
and I usually have to recreate all the icons etc. 

If I say no, it crashes.

I suspect it might possibly be something to do with the fact that my
home directory is automounted (using automount) off of a linux file
server (running RedHat 6.2). I can't make this crash happen if I am
using a local home directory.

Usually, the problem does not reoccur if I logout (back to GDM) and log
back in. Sometimes I have to do this 2 or even 3 times.

Paul.
