Umm, your gnome-name-service is in the middle of doing gtk_clist stuff? I
don't think so! Something is definitely wrong here with your symbols.

However I did think up a bug in this vein, so I will look into fixing that
bug and see if it helps.

Double check that you have the latest gnome-libs and are running ldconfig,
though, because that panel zombie should have disappeared as of last
night...
