Removing a (empty?) corner panel causes craziness

[Daniel Burrows <Daniel_Burrows brown edu>]

Package: panel
Version: CVS 03-10-99
  
  I had three corner panels: one in the lower left, one in the lower right,
and one in the upper left.  The upper-left one was empty (because I removed
all applets from it), so I decided to remove it.  A few seconds later, panel
died with a GdkBadPixmap.  When I restarted, it had lost my launchers from the
lower-left panel (not sure what error messages it displayed, sorry) so I added
them again.  The removal hadn't been saved so I decided to test it again (being
unsure whether that had really been the cause).  Boom.  Everything died again.
This time, restarting panel gave me two panels (lower-left and lower-right,
two sets of launchers and applets--the applets from the lower-right panel
went to the lower-left and vice-versa; in addition, the lower-left panel
got a second set of launchers (!!).  In addition, I got the following messages:


** WARNING **: Can't find panel, putting applet on the first one

** WARNING **: Can't find panel, putting applet on the first one

** WARNING **: Can't find panel, putting applet on the first one

** WARNING **: Can't find panel, putting applet on the first one

** WARNING **: Can't find panel, putting applet on the first one

** WARNING **: Can't find panel, putting applet on the first one

  so I suspect that somehow it lost track of which panel was which internally.

  Hope this helps.
