Bug Description

My system has ben unstable for a few weeks now. Installing a package or turning on the panel will usually result in a hang.
I am using Xubuntu 8.04 with kernel 2.6.24-23.
This is the error message when I tried to turn on the panels:

craig@craig-laptop:~$ xfce4-panel
craig@craig-laptop:~$
(xfce4-menu-plugin:5914): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x2800003 unexpectedly destroyed

(xfce4-places-plugin:5915): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x2a00003 unexpectedly destroyed
The program 'xfce4-places-plugin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 152 error_code 3 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Thanks Charlie
but I am 2 releases/upgrades further on. I have formatted the computer and cannot perform the task you ask.
I have not had this problem since. This bug did occur thru WUBI on an unstable XP.

Craig
