Title:
  Gnome-panel freeze when 8 windows are open when the panel is vertical
  /"non-expanded horizontal"

Status in libwnck package in Ubuntu:

Status in libwnck source package in Lucid:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  This bug can always be reproduced and happen in very precise
  circumstances. 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. When Gnome has
  7 windows, icons are stretched and there's no place for another
  window. At that moment, if 8th window is open, the "windows list"
  panel panic and gnome-panel freeze.

  How to reproduce that bug :

  1. 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. Once the panel is at right, open 8 windows.

  Result : Gnome panel is now completely freeze, except the notification
  area.

  Tested on gutsy and hardy, gnome-panel 1:2.20.1-0ubuntu1 and 1:2.21.90-0ubuntu1
  Tested on Debian Sid, gnome-panel 2.20.3-1
  Tested on OpenSuse, gnome-panel 2.20.0

  Does NOT happen with :
  Debian Lenny, gnome-panel 2.14.3-6
