** Description changed:

+ Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
  
- gnome panels disappear for no apparent reason. killing gnome-panel did
- not make it reappear, although sticky notes disappeared and then
- reappeared. after restarting gdm, and thus losing my whole login
- session, the panels were present again.
