It seems, whether you use the bottom panel, or change the top panel to be the bottom (speaking after an initial rawhide install), and go to properties and change the color of it, it crashes. It logs you out of gnome and into gdm, then fails to load and won't allow you to log in to gnome again.
Anyone else seen this lately?

If your panel crashes, that does not end your session. Try it:
killall -SEGV gnome-panel
If your session ends, most likely the X server crashed.

...in which case, boot to initlevel 3, login, startx, reproduce the bug if you can, if it dumps you back to the console, take a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log before starting X again. Error messages should be in there.

No errors in there that I could find. But in my .xsession-errors file there are plenty, which is attached.

Oh yea, and removing my .gconf/apps/panel dir restores my panels to the original defaults and I am able to login again.

Filed a bug against gnome-panel as not sure really what the cause is. Also attached xsession-error.log to help.
