Comment 3 for bug 738551

I could reproduce the bug. Istanbul is listed in the running processes. Just that the panel icon does not show up.

I started gnome-panel and ran istanbul again. This time, I got the icon on the panel. But on stopping the recording, Istanbul crashed with the following error :

istanbul
