This means that one of the built-in applets, or the panel itself, is
locked. You need to obtain a backtrace of what is doing the gnome-panel
process at that moment so that we know what’s happening.

At the moment where you kill X, are there some processes remaining
belonging to your user? I suspect the bonobo-activation-server process
here.

If it is what I suspect, just kill bonobo-activation-server.
