When I start a new gnome-panel myself (on the 2nd X screen) the problem seems solved.
As reported above, when the gnome-panel crashed, a error popup (without text) is displayed on the 1st X screen. When I killall -9 gnome-panel, it restarts by itself, and still crashes with the reported behaviour. However when I start a new gnome-panel myself, from the 2nd X screen the problem no longer exists. This may indicate a error with gnome-panel trying to attach to the wrong X screen. -- two xscreens -> gnome panel crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
