"Panel crashed" suddenly

[Rich Shepard]

  Xfce4 has been working just fine on my notebook. This afternoon I try to
fire up X and instead of my default desktops I get the error message "panel
crashed". Has anyone a thought why this would occur after it worked
flawlessly for several months?

Thanks,

Rich
