Bug#585181: gnome-panel: window list shows only small squares with icon or ".." but not the window title

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.30.0-2
Severity: normal

Hi.

I guess since some 2.30 version it happens quite often that after starting the
session, the window list in the panel only shows the icon of the program
(or ".." if the program has none) in a small square, but not the title of the
window.

Typically after starting a second application, this goes away for the whole
session.

I've attaced a screenshot.


Cheers,
Chris.
