Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

In Karmic (and I believe other previous Ubuntu releases) if gnome-panel was intentionally killed using xkill or "killall gnome-panel", after a moment the panel(s) would re-appear.

In Lucid this does not happen, and must be manually restarted by running "gnome-panel".

Still not able to get gnome-panel to restart automatically here after reinstalling gnome-panel 2.29.91-0ubuntu2

I verified that X-GNOME-AutoRestart was included in the desktop file.
