When using the "windows list" applet (installed by > default) on a gnome panel of at least 30 pixels placed in the right of > the screen, it's impossible to open more than 7 windows without > freezing completely Gnome-panel and needed to restart Gnome. Since > gnome-panel freeze but does not crash, I can't create a backtrace. > > This bug is due to the fact that when the gnome-panel is more than 30 > pixels, icons are shown for each windows in the panel.

Right clic on the default ubuntu bottom panel and click on "properties" > 2. Change "Bottom" to "Right" and increase the size to 30 pixels or more ( > icons must appear in the windows list in the gnome-panel when the panel is > in the right of the screen ) > 3.
