I have found that having lots of applets in the panel can cause a cascade
of panels at startup. I'm not sure whether it's a crashing applet that's
causing this or something else. Don't know if this is related, and sorry
for being this vague. When I find time I will check if I can still get
this explosion of panels and which applet might be guilty of it. It was
happening both when the panel was launched through gnome-session, as well
as when it was started up from the command line.
