> SUMMARY:
>
> After graphical logon notification area gets scrambled. Icons are in
> terrible mess. Some of them are overlapping others. Sometimes network
> manager icon is missing. Sometimes phantom icons show up. They can be
> clones of any other icons in the notification area. Bug affects any
> graphics card: ATI, nVidia, Intel...
>
> WORKAROUND 1:
>
> Run 'killall gnome-panel' from the terminal or Gnome's "Run" dialog.
> The panels will automatically respawn correctly.
>
> WORKAROUND 2:
>
> When you get your icons distorted right-click on the affected panel
> (not icons) click "Properties". In "Panel Properties" change panel
> orientation to "Left" or "Right" and back to "Top" or "Bottom". In my
> case all icons are displayed properly, but one (nm-applet) is missing.
>
> WORKAROUND 3:
>
> Right click the Gnome panel and remove the offending applets and re-
> add them, i.e. Indicator Applet, etc.
