Title:
  The window selector menu in the panel randomly fails to show some of
  my open windows. Also, when waking from a sleeping state, the panel
  does not update, so my clock tells the wrong time, etc.

Status in gnome-panel package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  Maybe this is 2 bug reports (I'm not sure), but they both relate to
  the Ubuntu 9.04 gnome-panel.

  Symptom 1: Sometimes the Window Selector applet does not list all of
  my open windows. This does not happen only to windows associated with
  any specific application, but seems to occur at random times to random
  windows. I can click the menu open, not see a window listed, click the
  menu closed, & click it open again, & there the window is again! All
  of my windows are within the 1st workspace, as I only ever use 1, & I
  rarely ever have more than 4 windows open at a time.

  Symptom 2: When I put my ASUS Eee PC to sleep & wake it up again,
  often-times my panel looks blank, with no applet icons appearing, or
  shows all my applets as they were when I put the computer to sleep
  (ie.  the clock says it's 3 hours earlier than it really is, the
  network manager says I'm offline even though I'm surfing the web, & my
  battery monitor says it's full when it's actually down to half
  charge). When I click the network applet for example, the menu shows
  the correct & current information, but the icon never updates. The
  only way I have found to force my icons to update is to go to "Add to
  panel..." and add some new applet, or remove an applet that is already
  on the panel. I tend to put my computer to sleep rather than fully
  shut it down when I step away for a while, so this issue effects me a
  lot.
