90%+ CPU usage (GNOME)

[user]

After upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 (64 Bit), my desktop gets unusable. The "top" command shows that the process "gnome-panel" uses 90% and more of CPU time. Login with another user: the same. Removing

~/.gconf
~/.gnome

and restart also doesn't help.

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel

also doesn't help.

The panels are unusable (non-responsive) and some applets (like the user switch applet) crash during login. Fortunately, I have wisely an icon on the desktop to start a browser and a terminal. When I try to save a file with the browser, the dialog opens and freezes. "top" then shows 90%+ CPU usage for the process "evince".
