Bug#633607: gnome-panel and xorg use 100% of cpu

[Gary Koskenmaki]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.30.2-4
Severity: important

On log in gnome-panel and Xorg use 100% of cpu.  gnome-panel will sometimes show up on the desktop, and sometimes won't, but either way it
causes high cpu usage.  If any panel applets are being used they share equally in cpu usage with gnome-panel and Xorg.  Stopping any of
the panel applets crashes gnome-panel and then it will not reappear unless gdm is restarted.  Sometimes, after gnome-panel crashes none 
the ttys are available through ctrl->alt->f1-f7.
