Binary package hint: gnome-panel
This bug can always be reproduced and happen in very precise circumstances. When using the "windows list" applet (installed by default) on a gnome panel of at least 30 pixels placed in the right of the screen, it's impossible to open more than 7 windows without freezing completely Gnome-panel and needed to restart Gnome. Since gnome-panel freeze but does not crash, I can't create a backtrace.
This bug is due to the fact that when the gnome-panel is more than 30 pixels, icons are shown for each windows in the panel. When Gnome has 7 windows, icons are stretched and there's no place for another window. At that moment, if 8th window is open, the "windows list" panel panic and gnome-panel freeze.
How to reproduce that bug :
1. Right clic on the default ubuntu bottom panel and click on "properties"
2. Change "Bottom" to "Right" and increase the size to 30 pixels or more ( icons must appear in the windows list in the gnome-panel when the panel is in the right of the screen )
3. Once the panel is at right, open 8 windows.
Result : Gnome panel is now completely freeze, except the notification area.
