Strange panel behavious

[Erik Harrison]

Spoke too soon. I am more likely to make it happen (it seems) if I add
and/or remove an applet before giving it the old stress test. I
removed plugins one by one until everthing except the launchers
remained. I foolishly didn't think to run a back trace each time, but
I have a backtrace with just launchers on the panel. Here it is
