Bug Description
This is a bug equivalent to 727908 but on the panel-service.
Using a little script that dumps the object tree and tries to print the parent name:
Application name: unity-panel-service
Application elements: 7
-- Role: panel parent=NULL
-- Role: label parent=NULL Name: Edit
-- Role: invalid parent=NULL Name:
-- Role: label parent=NULL Name: View
-- Role: invalid parent=NULL Name:
-- Role: label parent=NULL Name: Search
-- Role: invalid parent=NULL Name:
-- Role: label parent=NULL Name: Terminal
-- Role: invalid parent=NULL Name:
-- Role: label parent=NULL Name: Tabs
-- Role: invalid parent=NULL Name:
-- Role: label parent=NULL Name: Help
-- Role: invalid parent=NULL Name:
-- Role: panel parent=NULL
-- Role: panel parent=NULL
-- Role: image parent=NULL

As you can see in most cases the parent is NULL.
In theory, you should be able to navigate from any child to the root object, what it is not the case.
Anyway, a consistent parent-child hierarchy is not only required to navigate to the root (as there are easier ways to do that) but just to get information from the parent, or to search for the container of the child of a specific role etc.
In order to solve that it would be required to use atk_object_
