With regards to my part of the problem, it is basically done.. It was apparently a conflict with SVN beryl packages. Once I uninstalled them, the problem disappeared. Gnome-panel still occasionally crashed when certain windows were open sometimes, but that has since receded with subsequent upgrades.
