[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#611326: Acknowledgement (xfce4: Panel's taskbar goes into infinite loop)

[Edmund Eyles]

I don't know whether this helps, but the way I start most applications 
is with keyboard shortcuts I have defined, e.g. Ctrl-Alt-T for Terminal. 
  When I start an application in this way, and it is an application that 
allows multiple instances of itself to be run (such as Terminal), I will 
intermittently get two instances started at the same time.  This is 
merely a minor annoyance, but I don't know if it will shed further light 
on the panel problem.

This said, the panel problem is not exclusively restricted to starting 
applications using Xfce keyboard shortcuts: it occurred just now when I 
opened this reply e-mail message within Icedove using Ctrl-R.
