https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-2359/lxpanel-0.5.12-1.fc18
and 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-2359/lxpanel-0.5.12-1.fc17
fix several bugs, among them two very old and annoying ones:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782431 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785906

As you can see the bugs were already ON_QA before they were closed
WONTFIX.

Kind regards,
Christoph
