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.
