[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#656036: lxpanel dying a lot (today)

[Gordon Haverland]

Package: lxpanel
Version: 0.5.8-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I've had lxpanel start using 100% CPU and become non-responsive.
Sending a SIGHUP usually worked, but I gather that isn't an
official way to fix things (I didn't know of lxpanelctl).

I upgraded all kinds of packages today, and my SIGHUP trick
got to the point where it wouldn't work at all, and I had to log out.
I've been trying to use lxpanelctl restart since then, and usually
it works.  But, lxpanel still gets to the point where it doesn't
respond.  If I start a new lxpanel from a command line, it doesn't
have a Start Application button, and hence logging out is not that
easy.

In the last 7 hours, I think lxpanel has become nonresponsive probably
25 times.
