Sounds like you have a bug in one applet.

 - what applets do you have on your panel
 - what version of gnome-core and gnome-applets
 - does ~/.xsession-errors contain any output
 - if you use session-properties to remove the panel from 
   the session manually, perhaps you can get the panel 
   to crash without having to log out, in order to 
   read the dialog.
