Title:
  Gnome panels continuously crash, then reload

Status in gnome-panel package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  Whew, this one is one annoying bug! After finally getting my second
  monitor working as a seperate Xscreen with nvidia's proprietary tool,
  I noticed a weird-looking icon where the Network Manager icon usually
  is. I should note that both screens have identical panels. except for
  the Notification Area. This is the default appearance after using the
  nvidia tool.

  Anyway, I try to remove this icon. Doesn't work the first time, but
  the second time, it does. But now all four panels crash and reload,
  crash and reload, ad infinitum, and the alt+F2 dialog crashes shortly
  after being opened. I even have to restart the computer after a few
  minutes, because I get a kernel panic! This does not reccur after the
  reboot though, strangely, though the panels keep flashing.

  I finally manage to stop the madness by adding a launcher for the
  gnome-terminal to my desktop, double-clicking it to get to a terminal,
  then killing gconfd-2.
