The panel crashes when started. It only crashes when there is a panel on both monitors in non-xinerama mode. It only broke recently; before that, both panels would start on the same monitor for some reason until I moved one to the other monitor. I am running the 270.41.19 binary blob NVIDIA driver on fedora 12. I compiled the xfce code myself from the various 4.8.0 and related latest sources.

To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) aborting...

Thank you for any and all help. If there is other log info or command output needed, I would be happy to provide it. Best Regards, Alex
Are you sure you run version 4.8.0, Please run 'xfce4-panel --version' in a terminal. The latest release is 4.8.6 and since 4.8.0 there were a lot of bug fixes.
Hi Nick, Definitely looks like 4.8.0 to me. $ xfce4-panel --version xfce4-panel 4.8.0 (Xfce 4.8.0) Copyright (c) 2004-2011 The Xfce development team. All rights reserved. Please report bugs to <http://bugzilla.xfce.org/>. In the mean time I will upgrade my XFCE installation to 4.8.6 to see if that fixes my issue. I will try and do that today but I may not have time since I will be heading to FUDCon soon :). Best Regards, Alex
Hi Nick Just upgraded to panel version 4.8.6; I now have a working second panel. I will close this bug since its probably not an issue anymore. Best Regards, Alex
