I have tried to help you repeatedly.
I think it's best to do it on this list.

1. As far as I can tell you have a libc6 based system.

2. Several of your gnome-libs link to both libc.so.5 and libc.so.6.

3. That will generally make it impossible to run any programs with them.

4. As we found out, among others, your libpng.so links to both
   libc.so.5 and libc.so.6, and to libz.so.1

5. libz.so.1 is statically linked.

6. (I think this means that) either libpng or libz was compiled
   with libc5, so should be replaced with a glibc based copy.

Did you try replacing your libpng.so?

Do you know how to do that? If you don't know that or don't understand
something, you should ask. (After reading the obvious material
such as manpages.)

Nobody will be able to solve your problem if you just say that your panel
is segfaulting. The 'Unable to connet...' message has little to
do with the segfault.

If you respond, please reply to this list. That way you might get help
from many others. And give information! For example, what distribution
are you running? (for example Red Hat 5.2, SuSE 6.0, etc...)
