From a quick skim through the source code, in recent gnome-panels the most
likely culprit seems to be the clock applet, which uses the system bus to
look for location changes from NetworkManager, and set the system clock using
some sort of privileged backend. As a result, it opens a shared connection to
the system bus, which has the default "exit on disconnect" behaviour.
