Summary:                    xfce4-panel causes computer lockup
Description: 
After running xfce4-panel for a little while (seems to vary), it begins to
eat up clock cycles until I have seen it consuming 98% of the CPU and then
today it finally caused my computer to crash.  I can't kill -9 the process
or find any way of ending it without rebooting the entire machine.  This
happens nearly every time I'm in xfce for longer than a few minutes.

Suprising, it's prolly an issue with one of the plugins you use. Try
removing each plugin one by one until you find the one which is guilty.

PS: Please mention what version of xfce you are running, what platform,
including OS and HW, etc. plus what config you have what plugins and so
on. Such a bug report is fairly useless otherwise.

Cheers,
Olivier.

What version of gtk are you running?

I agree with Olivier, this sounds like a plugin problem. Can you tell me
what plugins you use? 

Also it may be helpful if you try removing them one by one, to see if it
stops.
