xfce4-panel on Solaris/BrokenWindows: BadAlloc error

[Olivier Fourdan]

Mike,

Do what is said in the message:

xfce4-panel --sync

and then try the same from gdb (or any other debugger)

JAsper, it's an X error, not a regular crash... Means that even the
degugger might not see anything wrong here...

Cheers,
Olivier.
