Alright i have had the system sound control in the panel before and it worked
alright. However i went to add it back in and the panel just disapeared. I tried
manually changing the xml files, messing with the panel settings and even
logging off and then back on. But the panel is still gone. Below is my panel xml
file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Xfce>

Right, this means that the problem is in the mixer. I reduced the severity to
critical as long as no-one can confirm the problem.

Your config file does not contain the pager, so you should be able to simply run
the panel again (xfce4-panel).

Could you try to run the panel in gdb and get us a backtrace. There are no other
reports about this so we need as much information from you as we can get.

To get a backtrace do the following in a terminal:

 $ gdb xfce4-panel
gdb> run
  *crash*
gdb> bt
  <output of backtrace>

Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry but i deleted my config files and installed rc3 and since this is from a
version of xfce that is not going to be used anyone this really isnt much of
problem. But after upgrading to rc3 i still had the problem so that makes me
think it had to do with the config, maybe something messed up and made that
config files messed up. After deleting my config files and reinstalling again
everything works fine. 

thanks,
jordan
