This didn't happen with Ubuntu Breezy. Please tell, if you need more information. My gnome-panel version is 2.14.1-0ubuntu16.

Thank you for your bug. With what applets do you get that problem? Could you try to get a valgrind log (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind)?

This happened after upgrading to dapper, if I remember correctly, but a fresh dapper install fixed it and it never happened again since then (I used edgy and now I'm on feisty).
