Bug#496994: gnome-panel: gnome panel locks up on trying to run application run (alt f2).

[publicunimail]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.20.3-5
Severity: important


the gnome panel  locks up on trying to run application run (alt f2). It
will then reload. However... trying to use it again produces the same
effect. Launching it manual from a terminal shows that there is a widget
at a negative location.
