Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
After fresh install of ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop I experience after a few minutes of working that the gnome-panel eats the power of one of my Core2Duo.
The panel is not accessible any more.
I have to switch to the console via ALT+F1 and when opening a top, gnome-panel runs with about 90% Cpucycles.
When killing the process I can switch back to the GUI and all works fine for a few minutes.
I experienced this problem during my first test's with gutsy before several month's, but switched back to feisty (thanks god for partimage).
Now I would give gutsy a new chance, nothing changed. I hope I shouldn't need my backup this time.
I hope you guys can help.

I've the same problem with my account on Hardy (updated from Gutsy which were upgraded from Feisty and Dapper during their development cycles) for a few weeks. But another account (created on gutsy before upgrading to Hardy devel) which is rarely used gives me a "normal" panel, which not uses a lot of cpu. The panel which eats a lot of cpu is not killed on kill X (ctrl+alt+ backspace) though. I had to kill it manually in a terminal.
