Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

After upgrading from maverick to natty alpha-1 I get a "empty" desktop on login. No panel or anything, just the background and a cursor. I can see that gnome-session is running and a bunch of tasks etc. Starting the panel manually gives me a panel without a main menu launcher (and no top panel).

While this is part of the release notes for alpha1 I think it would be better to show *something* even if its just a zenity dialog saying "sorry, logout and select classic session".

It turns out there is a "killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel" in compiz for the fallback (didrocks was kind enough to dig that out). Changing && to ";" fixes the issue nicely and it starts fine again.
