One more thing that I find interesting :

- earlier I said I could trigger some corruption in the bottom panel, near the "show desktop applet", by invoking "killall gnome-panel" a couple of times : this is true
- HOWEVER, I moved the applets and put them back EXACTLY the way they were before and noticed the corruption didn't happen anymore when calling "killall gnome-panel".
- I thought "wtf ?" so I started a guest session. The panel looks exactly the same. And now, calling "killall gnome-panel" does indeed trigger the very same corruption in more than 50% of the cases.

But what can be the differences between 2 bottom panels that contain exactly the same applets at the same location, one of which does trigger the bug easily...
