Re: problems with multiple panels being started

[Sri Ramkrishna <sri aracnet com>]

I've had this problem as well.  So no, you aren't going crazy.  Sometimes,
it starts up the "second panel" after you start another panel after the
first panel crashed.  That is, panelA crashes, you run panelB, and then
you find that your applets are screwed up and then you realize there is an
panelC in addition to a panelB.
