Comment 6 for bug 68403

When I see this freezing in Gutsy, one can still click on the applets and buttons (e.g. the menu), but the icons are not updated with the mouseover highlight. This is the case for all buttons and applets. The most annoying part is that the clock doesn't update.

hiding the panel with the hide arrows and showing it again appears to refresh it enough to get everything working again. It is quite hard to notice when this happens, as the panel is still functional.
