gnome-panel reported a crash at the end of a feisty update

[Duncan Lithgow]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

This bug seems very similar to Bug #77797 but here goes.

Immediately after todays update, even before the notification that I need to restart appeared, the crash collector (whatever it's called) told me that gnome-panel had crashed. The only thing I can see that's not working right is that the gnome-power-manager icon (the battery) got thrown off the panel and onto the desktop in a window. Last time I saw this crash it was back where it should be if I reset the icon in 'System > Preferences > Power Management' - I'll let you know if that doesn't happen this time.

Other than that gnome-panel seems to be working fine.

I can confirm this but i dont have the crash report anymore but this happened the other day.

Thank you for your bug. That looks a crash to GTK gtk_recent_manager and might be fixed with 2.10.7, would be interesting to know if that happens with the next update too

Sebastian, I can say that this happened in exactly the same way last time I updated gnome-panel. It didn't give lasting trouble so I didn't report it the first time. I will certainly keep an eye out for it next time.

closing for now, feel free if that happens again with the new version
