bug report in panel

[Dave Reed <dreed capital edu>]

I've downloaded and installed parts of gnome via the 0.99.tar.gz files
at a gnome mirror:

      588361 Dec 17 18:16 ORBit-0.3.90.tar.gz

      265511 Dec 17 19:23 gtop-0.99.0.tar.gz   (didn't configure
because of libgtop)
      654423 Dec 17 17:57 imlib-1.8.2.tar.gz
      128799 Dec 17 17:46 libaudiofile-0.1.5.tar.gz

      129772 Dec 17 18:39 libxml-0.99.tar.gz

the panel starts ok if I su to root, but when run it as a normal user,
it segfaults:

My apologies if this has been fixed in cvs.  My setup is a Pentium
running RedHat 5.2.  Also, should/can I use glib/gtk 1.1.9 with these
0.99.tar.gz files?  

Also, are new 0.99 tarballs going to be made frequently?

Thanks,
Dave
