> Lonnie : I agree... In July I kind of said "please guys, let's stop

> in sept 2009 and almost everyone gets this bug).
>
> It occurs almost every day on my setup and I saw it occur on every setup
> I installed Ubuntu. (provided Compiz was enabled)

> SUMMARY:
>
> After graphical logon notification area gets scrambled. Icons are in
> terrible mess. Some of them are overlapping others. Sometimes network
> manager icon is missing. Sometimes phantom icons show up. They can be clones
> of any other icons in the notification area. Bug affects any graphics card:
> ATI, nVidia, Intel...
>
> WORKAROUND 1:
>
> Run 'killall gnome-panel' from the terminal or Gnome's "Run" dialog. The
> panels will automatically respawn correctly.
>
> WORKAROUND 2:
>
> When you get your icons distorted right-click on the affected panel (not
> icons) click "Properties". In "Panel Properties" change panel orientation to
> "Left" or "Right" and back to "Top" or "Bottom". In my case all icons are
> displayed properly, but one (nm-applet) is missing.
>
> WORKAROUND 3:
>
> Right click the Gnome panel and remove the offending applets and re-add
> them, i.e. Indicator Applet, etc.
