I have a blank panel

[Lyndon Drake <lyndon stat auckland ac nz>]

Hi,

Using todays cvs (along with cvs ORBit and gnome-libs), I can't get the panel to display
anything.  When I run the panel, the only thing that appears is a blank grey section at
the bottom of the screen.  The following output appears on the screen:

[lyndon@r lyndon]$ panel

** CRITICAL **: file extern.c: line 733 (panel_corba_gtk_init): assertion `ev._major == CORBA_NO_EXCEPTION' failed.

** WARNING **: goad_server_activate: goad.c 590: unexpected exception IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0:

** WARNING **: sysex: IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0.


** WARNING **: usrex: IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0.


The panel is completely unresponsive.  The only way to close it is to kill it.  I don't
know exactly where it is hanging, because gdb won't work with it:

[lyndon@r lyndon]$ gdb bin/panel

Based on the error message, I suspect ORBit, but gnomecc works reasonably well.
