I'm having this exact same issue and would be happy to provide the "gtk related symbols" but I have no idea which / how many of the gtk related debugging packages I should install, could you list ones that would be the most useful here?
** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-panel While running on a normally stable system, after a few days of being logged in, gnome-panel will freeze (no un-hide of menu bar, bitmaps on top menu are frozen, no pull-down menus). Widgets inside the panel still work, such as the system monitor graphs. right-clicking the menubar does not work. Meanwhile, it's deadlocking one of my CPUs, growing its memory continuously until it gets up to 4+GB and my machine starts swapping. While gnome-panel is locked, most windows experience glitching in the draw routines. firefox displays bitmaps from windows on different desktop panels, mosaic'd into different spots on different webpages. gnome-panel killed restores normal behavior, but only for a few hours the first time. for an hour the second time. a few minutes the fifth and sixth times. After the seventh or eight kill, behavior is normal for only a few minutes, if that, then it's resumption of deadlock & memory leak. I have the notification library fix from Ted Gould's PPA installed. Also, skype might be causing some of the interaction here. Something is tickling my mind about how this may happen more often with a notification icon updating skype's menubar bitmap.
