Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
Steps: 1) Add a new panel in gnome 2) Open gconf-editor, go to /apps/panel/toplevels/panel_0 (or whatever name of the new panel is) 3) Check the auto_hide box 4) Set the auto_hide_size to 0 At this point the whole gnome desktop freezes, I can still move the mouse but can't do anything else. Switching to console, I can see that gnome-panel is taking 100% CPU. The only solution is to either change the auto_hide_size to 1 using gconftool and restart gdm (or wipe ~/.gconf* and restart gdm).
