Comment 36 for bug 540950

Using EB4 Beta (Debian-based): prior to upgrading to 0.39-0~ppa3, dockbarx would sometimes fail to load, sometimes not, but never give an error. A simple "killall gnome-panel" would get dockbarx to load fine. Today I did an apt-get upgrade to 0.39-0~ppa3 and now I get the dreaded "Panel encountered a problem while loading ..." error. killall gnome-panel just gives the same error.
