gnome-session starts two panels

[Glenn PM <glenpm usa net>]

Hi,

Could someone tell me how to stop gnome-session from attempting to
always start two panels. I get a "question" popup for the second
instance "I've detected a panel already running. Start another panel as
well? (The new panel will not be started)" all the time.

My .xinitrc (RedHat 5.2) has "exec gnome-session" without starting the
panel so its not there.
My session file has only one panel section in the Default part:

7,id=117f000001000092434522300000004450008
7,RestartStyleHint=2
7,Priority=40
7,Program=panel
7,CurrentDirectory=/home/glenn
7,CloneCommand=panel --sm-config-prefix /panel.d/Session-a01520/ 
7,RestartCommand=panel --sm-config-prefix /panel.d/Session-a01520/
--sm-client-id 117f000001000092434522300000004450008 
num_clients=8

Where is this second instance being called from?

Thanks,
Glenn
