As I said in a previous email, the bug seems to have gone when I removed
the notification area from the panel. If it happens again, I'll also
watch my memory usage.
That said, the notification area could have had a memory leak.
The notification area is *evil*. When I forget to remove it on any
system I have many problems just like you.
