[Bug 47602] Re: gnome panels are empty (show nothing) after login

[John Florian]

Positive I did not "simply remove menubar applet".  Both the top and
bottom panels are empty, void, devoid of all life and 100% non-
responsive -- just a gray pair of gray bars, until I right-click desktop
to open a gnome-terminal (via nautilus-open-terminal) and exec "killall
gnome-panel".  It seems that gnome-panel initializes correctly on all
but the first time within my gnome session.  Of course, the first time
is the most important as the 2nd ... nth times should never be needed.
Make sense?
