panel dying at startup

[Todd Graham Lewis <tlewis mindspring net>]

I just did a completely clean build out of CVS, and now, when I start
the panel, it dies before displaying anything.  Running it under gdb reveals
the largest stack I've ever seen:

reflections% gdb panel                                           ~/gnome/cvs/gnome-core/panel

(gdb) 

By my reading, this implies that the error is, of all places, in g_logv,
which I am guessing is glib's logging feature.  I'll see if I can track
it down further.

If anyone has any suggestions, then I would love to hear them.
