gnome-panel does does not "keep" theme

[Susan Cragin]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Gnome-panel does not hold onto the theme. I have tried Clearlooks, glossy, and the Ubuntu Studio theme and get the same result.
What happens:
Usually, the theme comes up correctly but then quickly crashes. Sometimes it takes the network-monitor icon along with it.
I have a Lenovo tablet computer.
