Hello Robert,

unity-2d-launcher and unity-2d-panel register themselves to be restarted
when they die. It is done via a key in their desktop files:

/usr/share/applications/unity-2d-panel.desktop
/usr/share/applications/unity-2d-launcher.desktop

[...]
X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true

Changing its value to 'false' should do the trick.

Florian
