Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

After booting the UNR everything is fine. Then, after using it several minutes (including the workspace-switcher), the panel becomes invisible. One can use everthing located in the panel, but without seeing it. Killing the gnome-panel process solves the problem most of the time for several minutes, but then the problem comes back.
