This could be very useful - maybe you're seeing this:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55119

What are the X messages? Anything in ~/.xsession-errors?

If you run the panel in gdb, with the --sync option, what's the
backtrace?

$ gdb panel
(gdb) run --sync
<crash>
(gdb) bt
----------------->>>>
Yeah I should have included them.  I really just figured it was an old
machine and that was causing my problems so I just used a different desktop
and vncviewer (twm).  However I would like to solved this if possible.  So
here are the errors that happen after startx is issued.

1. Ximian Doorman seg faults at process 1679
2. Panel seg faults at process 1736

Note that the doorman thing now tries to start every time before GNOME (or
after not sure about the sequence, but prior to the desktop load) and this
is because it fails.

Here is the output of gdb:

Made a file called gdbcmd.txt that consists of 2 lines:

 run --sync
 bt

then ran the following command to produce the 2 files attached:

 1.  gdb panel -batch -x gdbcmd.txt >> panel.txt 2>&1
 2.  gdb doorman -batch -x gdbcmd.txt >> doorman.txt 2>&1

During the run of panel a box comes up saying that panel is already running
do you want to start a new panel Yes or No.  Selecting either lands same
result.

Is this enough info for ya?
