Public bug reported: When I log in a gnome-flashback-metacity session, nautilus starts and I see my desktop, but the panel does not start. I have to open a terminal and start it by running '/bin/gnome-panel &'. Once I start it in the terminal and close it my panels (top and bottom ones) appear just fine with all the applets as they should be. As a fix, I placed a script in my ~/bin directory which I configured to run at the start of each session (using the "System Tools"->"Preferences"->"Startup Applications" menu). I haven't been using ubuntu for some time, but I"m willing to provide what information I can to get this bug fixed. Thanks.
