Comment 187 for bug 439448

Just to give you some more info, my current setup is an ubuntu64-10.04@Intel i7 and i must admit this release is unbelievably faster than any other previous version of Ubuntu: after trying out the livecd i just got my /home/ folder backed up from the previous installation (ubuntu64-9.04) and restored it on a brand new lucid installation: everything is fine, everything works as expected (although the audio stack has other problems on its own..) but this gdm/gnome-panel/gnome-applets problem i'm sure i never had it before in Jaunty, and i was using the very same nvidia-proprietary drivers' version as i'm using now, so this is pretty odd.

@Kupfer: my NetworkManager applet has never thrown a problem, hell, NM and radiotray icons are just those unaffected by the problem.

I also noticed my gnome applets problem not always presents itself whenever the machine can't load gdm: sometimes the problem persists across multiple "sudo killall gnome-panel" killage too, so that i can issue as much as 18 of them and still i get those sensors corrupted. I usually also win a reboot here, because panels are definitely phucked for the entire session and gdm will not restart, hanging there in the middle with the other seven console hanged as well.
