Bug#558487: gnome-panel: X Window System error: BadPixMap (invalid Pixmap parameter)

[Manuel Bilderbeek]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.26.3-1
Severity: normal

Just after logging in, I see the gnome panel restarting (after it had
already appeared). This is in my .xsession-errors:

(gnome-panel:3205): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_x11_colormap_foreign_new: assertion `GDK_IS_VISUAL (visual)' failed

(gnome-panel:3205): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_x11_colormap_foreign_new: assertion `GDK_IS_VISUAL (visual)' failed
The program 'gnome-panel' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 34457 error_code 4 request_code 54 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

(gnome-panel:3483): Gdk-WARNING **: /tmp/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.18.3/gdk/x11/gdkdrawable-x11.c:952 drawable is not a pixmap or window

Not sure what the problem is, but I thought I'd better report it.
