Bug#647924: gnome-panel: lost all configuration after upgrade

[Witold Baryluk]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 3.0.2-1
Severity: important

Hello,

I had pretty complex gnome-panel setup,
with 3 panels, about 12 applets, and many
activators. After upgrade and logging to my account
using gdm3 with "GNOME tryb zastępczy" (fallback mode, in pl_PL locales),
i was presented with two black panels, with standard layout
of applets.

Disaster.

Fortunately I have a backup of my system, and will try to recover
gnome-panel settings.

Is this known problem, or only me?
