The window selector menu in the panel randomly fails to show some of my open windows. Also, when waking from a sleeping state, the panel does not update, so my clock tells the wrong time, etc.

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Maybe this is 2 bug reports (I'm not sure), but they both relate to the Ubuntu 9.04 gnome-panel.

Symptom 1: Sometimes the Window Selector applet does not list all of my open windows. This does not happen only to windows associated with any specific application, but seems to occur at random times to random windows. I can click the menu open, not see a window listed, click the menu closed, & click it open again, & there the window is again! All of my windows are within the 1st workspace, as I only ever use 1, & I rarely ever have more than 4 windows open at a time.

Symptom 2: When I put my ASUS Eee PC to sleep & wake it up again, often-times my panel looks blank, with no applet icons appearing, or shows all my applets as they were when I put the computer to sleep (ie. the clock says it's 3 hours earlier than it really is, the network manager says I'm offline even though I'm surfing the web, & my battery monitor says it's full when it's actually down to half charge). When I click the network applet for example, the menu shows the correct & current information, but the icon never updates. The only way I have found to force my icons to update is to go to "Add to panel..." and add some new applet, or remove an applet that is already on the panel. I tend to put my computer to sleep rather than fully shut it down when I step away for a while, so this issue effects me a lot.

Don't describe several issues in a bug too that's not easy to manage for bug triaging
