Hi,

I successfully debugged Xfce Panels, but it won't crash when I do it?
What do I do now?

On a clean install fully updated xubuntu 11.10
if I delete default bottom panel and add a new panel on bottom
and try to add "Applications Menu" to new bottom panel
the panel dies and disappears?

Thanks!

Jesse
