Public bug reported:

While the computer is saying its a problem with gnome-panel, I keep re-
installing gnome-session-fallback. It will work [in either flavor of
fallback (no idea why there are now two!) ONE TIME - but the next time I
get a screen with NO panels and NO keyboard shortcuts are recognized (so
I can't even get a terminal). All I can do is hard shut-down of
computer; restart into gnome or unity or some others (which I do NOT
like to use!). I have done this MANY times now. It never stays 'done'.
Am going back to my  copy ov 12.04 until someone can tell me why or how
to make one of the fallbacks (hopefully both) work every time I sign in
to 14.04. Thank you. Anyone else having similar problems? The only other
thing I can think of is that I upgraded from 12.04 in which fallback
operated just fine and was stable.
