On F12, recently the bottom panel (on a vanilla Gnome installation) has decided to disappear occasionally.
the occasions have become more and more frequent til I end up rebooting at least once to get a bottom panel.
in fact, today, I don't get one (visibly) at all. Clues?
And today, the ABRT flashing red light appears on the top panel, but when I hover the mouse over it it says "Abrt service is not running." I'm gonna guess that the dying panel has triggered abrt, but as to why it says it isn't running, I have no idea. It IS enabled in the services app.
TIA!

I've reported a similar problem a few times with my F12 64-Bit desktop installation and my 32Bit laptop installation. I think this might have started w/ F11.
To remedy this, in both cases, I open a terminal window, then
ps waux | grep gnome-panel kill <gnome-panel process-id>
It's a bit heavyhanded, but short of doing a reboot until I get the panel, this seems to restore my bottom panels; however, the weather applets won't work w/o a complete logout/reboot.
Thanks.

I've also found (since my posting) that running the "configuration editor" (gconf-editor) and changing the panel hiding setting for the bottom panel causes it to reappear.
