Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
This is a bug present today, something in recent updates has destroyed
gnome-panel - on amd64 Lucid at least.
Was doing my work when suddenly the panel just wouldn't work, I clicked
on the menu, window list etc and it wouldn't register my clicks or
rollovers or anything. I ran killall gnome-panel in a terminal and it
locked my computer up.
Went into a virtual terminal and ran top, gnome-panel was using 99% CPU,
tried to kill the process ID again but it keeps coming back.
I removed gnome-panel, ran an update and reinstalled the panel but same
problem. Tried rebooting, restarting X etc. The only way I can report
this bug is by booting up, leaving gnome-panel running at 99% CPU and
then using a terminal to run apport. It's very hard to type as there is
a huge lag because the panel is eating all the CPU so my computer is
very unresponsive and unusable.
This is a critical bug.
