/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 is a link to /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.2000.1, so:

cd /usr/lib
sudo rm libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0

Click on the gnome-panel to launch some application (say Firefox). This will crash gnome-panel, but gnome-panel will be unable to reload. Re-link the lib with:

sudo ln -s libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.2000.1 libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0

The panel is now fully functional, but not if I login again (even without rebooting).
Any ideas on how to fix this in the long-run. I have seen similar problems with gnome-panel, but am not able to fix it.
