Sorry (or not) to say, but I cannot reproduce the error anymore. I've done some cleanup with my panels (removed the Top one). The only applets I got rid of were "Menu Bar" (I use "Main Menu" instead - because it fits better) and "Indicator Session Applet" (when removed "Main Menu" gains additional buttons to logout, reboot or power off). I would recommend it to you as a temporary workaround (if you don't bother M$-like style:D).
