I was playing a game of mahjonng in gnome when the dialog buttons
suddenly became unresponsive. I hit the x in the main windo dialog and
it said that the window was not responding and if I wanted to force a
kill. I said yes and it killed the window. I then hit ctrl-alt-f1 to
get back to the main login shell and noticed that sox was not
responding to sound requests. I then went back to X with alt-f7 and
noticed that the top panel was missing the main pulldown icon plus
some others. I know the system has been updated with new panel
software and am wondering if this is causing the problem. Has anyone
else noticed theses kinds of things happening on their system? comments?

The funny thing is that I had the exact opposite behavior after
installing the ATI drivers until the gnome-panel update yesterday. When
I would bring up X, the panels would cover about three-fourths their
typical length of the width of the screen and be blank. Nothing seemed
to coax them back to life although they still would auto-hide. I ended
up figuring out that killing gnome-panel so it would restart solved the
problem. I was about to investigate further when the update to
gnome-panel made the problem go away.
Cheers,
