Comment 6 for bug 92293

Sebastien,

I updated to Feisty yesterday - so far, so good. I haven't vigorously
tested, but all seems fine. When I upgraded, I went to the 64-bit
version, whereas on Edgy I was using the 32-bit one. However, it has
been a month or so since I last had the panel "hang" problem - I think
some normal update must have fixed it for me.

Thank YOU!
