'Application "gnome-panel" (process xxxx) has crashed due to a fatal error (segmentation fault)'
It should provide a button to report a bug - that will give you a really simple UI to get a gdb backtrace and report it. If you want, I can take a quick look at the backtrace independently of your bug report.
It's been added as Bug 144511. Not very detailed, I'm afraid. I had to use the web interface, as I don't have sendmail or another MTA installed on this system. Backtrace attached.
If you're not at all fussed about losing configuration temporarily, you might want to run a recursive unset on all the panel settings, like this:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
Try that, let us know how it goes. :-)
No luck.
Matthew.
