Comment 1 for bug 852061

This problem is still present, however, if I switch back to compiz, (compiz --replace), the panel remains, and I can continue using compiz as before. However, further bugs now show up.

I can no longer close the panel settings dialog. Previously, attempting to close the panel settings dialog would cause compiz to hang (taking 100% cpu), although that now seems to no longer be the case. Instead, the panel settings dialognow remains open, and can not be hidden. (It is also present on all desktops. Oddly enough, I can click on things underneath (as the panel settings dialog is semi transparent... opening and "closing" it multiple times just makes it less and less transparent, although I can still click on things below, though I can no longer see them)
