Comment: I experience the same error. The problem here is that gnome-panel fails to stop when the user logs out. Perhaps a line was missed that kills it, or something, but that fact is that it keeps running even after the majority of the GNOME processes have stopped. I tried killing gnome-panel, and when it started again, most of the applets were unresponsive, and a couple of them, namely the ACPI battery monitoring applet (this is on a laptop) crashed or didn't start. I now have to reboot to check session changes or anything like that. This could be considered a serious problem. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
