It did not. All the errors inside you log are caused by a missing 
hicolor theme (which is used by all themes of GNOME) as well as a 
problem in Clearlooks, the GARNOME default theme.

You should concentrate on these problems first. It's no surprise to me 
if you have all these errors with gnome-panel if hicolor/Clearlooks did 
not install properly. Remember that copying the directory is far from 
enough to make GNOME see hicolor/Clearlooks.

As I said, focus on solving your build errors first.

No problem for ximian-connector and gnome-volume-manager. They are not 
dependencies of gnome-panel. Reread the README to see why these are 
failing to install (esp on a RH distro).

I cannot see any segfaults, only errors. These are due to the 
abovementioned problems.
