Bug Description

This has been happening over and over, so I'm going to finally submit a bug report. Sometimes, when right clicking an item in the Window List, gnome-panel will crash resulting in Amule quitting and the loss of many of my notification icons. Today alone, this happened with both a text file with gnome text editor, and with a picture file. I will attach three bug reports and file others whenever they happen.

This is Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10.
I have beryl and XGL with an ATI Mobility x300 and 512MB RAM.

Thank you for your bug. Could people stop filling Ubuntu bugs when they use non-official package? You are using a broken non-official libwnck (and we keep getting duplicates for it), if you have problems with it contact the people shipping it. Marking rejected, that's not an Ubuntu bug

Changed in gnome-panel:
assignee:	nobody → desktop-bugs
importance:	Undecided → Medium
status:	Unconfirmed → Rejected

The only two things in Synaptic that I have selected with the term "libwnck" are versions 2.16.1-0ubuntu1.1. The are libwnck18 and libwnck-common.

Also, the problem with submitting bugs that involve unofficial repos is that I have no idea which files are unofficial and which are from the official repos, and I can't really read the bug reports and understand anything. I'm just submitting the bug so someone can decide if it's worthwhile or even Ubuntu's problem.

The fix is to not use unofficial repositories.
