I also have the same problem.  In fact, if I get into the top panel
and start navigating around the menu bar up there, I will get stuck in
there and never get out back to the rest of the desktop.  In fact
Michael had the same thing happen to him during his recent audio demo
of installing gnome/orca. 

I also had problems like this with other distros.  I think it did that
to me with Debian and Dropline-Gnome on my old Slackware system.  I
had just given up on the desktop top and bottom panels for the time
being.  I'm sure it's important to get it working but I hardly know
where to begin to pin this down.  I recall asking questions in this
area a year or two ago and never got any real feedback.
