Title:
  gnome-panel keeps disappearing

Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  Periodically, the gnome-panel vanishes. The allocation space on the
  desktop remains (windows don't grow larger as they do if you're doing
  panel hiding) but the panel itself is gone and the background image
  shows through. As far as I can tell, proper applets and notification
  area GtkStatusIcons continue running.

  This time it happened when when I closed the Weather Applet's
  "Details" dialog. But it happens other times, at least once a day.
  Running Slashtime [which has a notification area icon] often causes
  the problem.

  The workaround is to issue

  $ pkill gnome-panel

  which quite readily causes the panel to reappear (after a whole bunch
  of maximized windows faffing about thinking they can grow in size,
  only to shrink back to normal when the new panel appears).

  This is presumably a problem in the upstream code as I occasionally
  (but with far less frequency) observed this running GNOME 2.26 on
  Gentoo.
