hoi :)

after installing gnome-panel 2.8 and restarting the session,
I got a message that a panel was already running and that it will
be killed.
After clicking OK, the message reappeared after several seconds,
over and over again.

There really was a old panel hanging around.
simply kill(1)ing it helped.
So it appears that the panel does not try to kill old panels
even when it tells so.
