[Pkg-xfce-devel] xfce4-panel cannot be customized without completely breaking functionality

[Kyle Pearson]

I'm running a plain-vanilla [Testing] distribution, with xserver-xorg
6.9and the full xfce4
4.2.3 package (+/- some plugins)on an unmodified 2.6.15 Debian kernel.  when
customized in any way (separators, weather plugin, disk- or net-perf,
modding the default browser, etc), xfce4-panel-4.2.3-1 will:

a) on first instance, accept modifications.

b) somewhere between 2d and 5th instances, crash .

If the desktop is closed and reopened, then xfce4-panel does not reappear,
and must henceforth always be called from the console.  Console registers
gtk errors.

If it is subsequently called from the console, it reappears without any
modifications.  Again:  upon re-opening new instances of the desktop the
panel never  reappears.

I've experimented with several different test-users, and the results are
always the same.

I think this may perhaps be linked to #357405.

Cheers -

Kyle
