Unfortunately, things with GUI applications are not so much obvious. When GUI applications are launched their state or standard outputs are never inspected until the application that did the launch did it in special manner, which lxpanel never does, obviously. In Ubuntu there is a special program (apport) that can catch crashes in most of cases, but it isn't available in Debian so there is no window with message about that unfortunately. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
