Actually, it doesn't happen "all the time". A few, though.

My main problem is when I logout (rarely), sometimes when I try to log
back in Gnome will declare that another gnome-panel is running so it
can't start one.

I have to switch to a tty and do a "killall gnome-panel" to get it the
orphaned gnome-panel to die so Gnome will start a new one and finish
booting.

Does Gnome pay any attention to a ~/.bash_logout file? I might add a
"killall gnome-panel" to it so it will always quit when I logout of
Gnome....
