Hi all, I have had this problem since Fedora 15. It is related to firefox so I use midori other than for very secure matters because it does not have 256-bit encryption. I am using a Thinkpad T61. The other option is to get rid of lxpanel (killall lxpanel), and use something else. In F15, I used peksystray for the system tray and docky for the panel (I compiled them myself.) Neither of these are RPMs on Fedora: I have considered putting them together, but it seems complicated. Note that you do not have to reboot: killall lxpanel, plus lxpanel -p LXDE should take care of it till the next freeze. The LXDE project, disappointingly, seems too haphazard in development and in fits and starts, so I am not convinced will last for much longer, unless something radical happens. Note that this is not just a lxpanel problem, but lxpanel does not recover. My father-in-law on xubuntu has mentioned the exact problem that Timothy is reporting. Apparently, this may be xulrunner taking over. I wonder if we could just get rid of xulrunner. I wonder if firefox jumping so many releases (with a target of a release of 8.0 or whatever, regardless of what else happens) in one year affect has an effect on quality.
