Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I'll be attaching a screenshot showing the problem. The menu that is on the far right-hand side of the gnome-panel at the top of the screen that includes the "logout" and "lock workstation" functionality becomes unavailable or obscured. The empathy chat (and "broadcast accounts") integration applet/menu gets double-rendered. About half way through the standard rendering of the "first" or default section of this applet, the "corruption" of gnome-panel occurs. The "corrupted" section doesn't "refresh" or re-render or respond to mouse clicks. Thus, I can't use the GUI menu there to lock my workstation, log out, or shut down the workstation. I'd love to provide further information (besides a screenshot showing the problem) except that I've waited/lived with this bug for over six months, always trying to see if I could reliably reproduce the problem. However, it has simply been far to random and I've decided to report it anyway. This problem existed on my previous lucid (10.04) install as well.
