Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Dear all,
I have the error messages (similar to http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33413778/gnome-panel%20problem.png from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/426185) at live-session start on my 2 laptops.

I installed Lucid on 1 laptop, updated it. I frequently have problems with the applets: sometimes I have 2 "Sound" applet (with only 1 functional), sometimes I have 2 separators close to my left-bottom Desktop icon (see screenshot in attached file), sometimes I have 2 Indicator Applets... lastly I could even not shut down my computer because the Deconnection applet was KO (see screenshot).

I don't know how to give more data.

I discovered on the ubuntu-fr wiki a similar command that may be more detailed (apport-collect -p gnome-panel 555878). If it is the same, please don't pay any attention.

seems a duplicate of a known display issue

I've been seeing similar behaviour for a few days, various display issues with the indicator-applet and notification-area-applet. I've attached a screenshot I took yesterday where the indicator-applet was showing some rendering issues, and also my Network Manager icon wasn't showing in the notification-area-applet. I fixed it by killing both indicator-applet and notification-area-applet from a Terminal, and asking GNOME to reload them when it brought up the "this applet has crashed" dialogue.

Apologies for the poor annotation, Pinta doesn't seem to support text entry yet, when I tried to put text in the button is present but greyed out and it didn't seem worth the wait for the Gimp to start up just to add two letters...

I have similar issues with double separators, icons overlapping, and sections white out. I'll attach screen shots of other examples when they happen again

I seem to have a different problem each time with this. Today I have two lots of the date (one actionable), no user bit, and no shut down bit. And my wifi icon is whited out.

Maybe Chris meant bug 426185. The other one is said to be a race condition. But both bugs are kind of subtle, not sure if they are the same or not.
