Bug Description

OK, in Dapper, if I enable the "Screenreader" option in the Assistive Technology Preferences, gnome-panel (and epiphany) die unexpectedly at certain times.

I can reproduce this by doing the following:
- Log on to GNOME desktop.
- Close Gnoppernicus (optional, doesn't change anything).
- Hit ALT+F2, type in xcalc or vncviewer and hit Enter.
- gnome-panel crashes.

Disabling the Screenreader and restarting GNOME shows this issue disappears.

The desired behavior is that gnome-panel does not crash.

The other issue is that sometimes Epiphany just crashes too, but doesn't if Screenreader is disabled.
