Public bug reported: I am not aware of what triggers the problem but sometimes (at least once/day) the Gnome3 panel (the bar across the top with the Date, the icons for sound, battery network, etc.) disappears. The menu bar for individual applications continues to work, but I cannot get the panel to relaunch. Logging out with "sudo service gdm stop ; sudo service gdm start" returns to a valid login screen; if I log in as a different user, everything is fine. If I log back in as myself, then the problem persists.
