metacity crashed with segfault, gnome-panel is using ~90% cpu

[Feanor]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

When gnome-panel is installed it uses about 90 % of my cpu and metacity crashes.
When gnome-panel is removed everything exept the gnome-panel works.

metacity --version
metacity 2.25.144

gnome-panel 1.2.25.92

Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04

Solved by deleting /home/user/.gconf/apps/panel + dpkg-reconfigure gnome-panel(maybe not necessary)

Thanks for the report, but what we need is a backtrace in order to determine where the problem is, could you report one with apport? please follow these instructions:

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
