From upstart.unity-panel-service.log.txt:

(unity-panel-service:26691): Indicator-Appmenu-CRITICAL **: OMG! Unable to get a connection to DBus
g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Error receiving message: Connection reset by peer (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting.

So, the indicator-appmenu plugin by policy takes down then entire unity-panel-service daemon when its connection to DBus gets lost. This seems like remarkably incorrect behaviour for a plugin. The very least it should do is invoke a graceful shut down of the daemon.

This likely occurs as a result of a race condition on session shutdown (Dbus is shut down before unity-panel-service). It's (mostly) harmless noise but causes crash reports and overall perception of poor fit and finish.

This perhaps could be worked around in the common case by forcing the shutdown order of the DBus daemon and the unity-panel-sevrice daemon .
