Bug#710094: gnome-panel: Gnome panel is empty after upgrade of gnome components

[Eugen Dedu]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 3.4.2.1-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading my system yesterday and rebooting, the gnome panel is
empty.  I suppose this is because gnome-panel is still at version
3.4.2, whereas the other gnome components have been pushed to 3.8.

I use gnome-fallback.

I see many lines like these in .xsession-errors:

(gnome-panel:3870): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_accelerator_parse_with_keycode: assertion `accelerator != NULL' failed
[...]
** (gnome-panel:3870): WARNING **: Unable to parse mouse modifier '(null)'
[...]
(gnome-panel:3870): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /tmp/buildd/glib2.0-2.36.1/./gobject/gsignal.c:2475: signal `size_request' is invalid for instance `0x227fba0' of type `GtkLabel'
[...]
(gnome-panel:3870): Gtk-WARNING **: FIXME: assigning images is not implemented
etc.


Cheers,
Eugen Dedu
