Please re-open this bug. I've experienced the same thing, with apparently the same cause: selecting "Extract Here" on an ISO file in Nautilus. I've no idea why this would cause gnome-panel to crash, but it seems the common link:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268690 I'm attaching a bug-buddy report (I installed gnome-panel-dbg). The worst thing is I can't seem to find any way to fix it: removing ~/.gconf and ~/.gnome2 has no effect, and nor does reinstalling gnome- panel and gnome-panel-data. Any suggestions would be much appreciated... ** Attachment added: "Debug report for gnome-panel crash" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4936346/gnome-panel-bugreport.txt -- gnome-panel crash https://launchpad.net/bugs/63465 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
