Hi,

I've tried this on 32 and 64 bit Breezy installations.  I've installed
Mathematica successfully on Hoary without this problem.  When I install it on
Breezy, and launch Mathematica, wnck-applet shoots to 95% of the CPU usage (or
whatever the maximum is available).  When I kill wnck-applet,
window-list,show-desktop and desktop-switcher obviously all come up with a
unexpected exit and reload box.  The window-list doesn't respond when
wnck-applet is at full CPU usage, so I expect it is a bug there, but honestly
have no clue.

As I said - it worked fine on Hoary, so I don't know what has changed in the
panel from Gnome 2.10 to 2.12.

Thanks,
Danson
