(Get the code!)
Hmm, today when I booted into lucid, gnome loaded with both bug #439448 and this one. I ran "killall gnome-panel" to workaround the other bug and, to my surprise, the white bar also went away shortly after. This made me curious and I've tried to experiment a bit with this. First, I think the fact that bug #439448 was present was just a coincidence. Here's the results I've been seeing...
When running killall gnome-panel, one of 2 things happen:
1. The panel loads with no white bar
2. The panel loads with a white bar, but if I open a new window or close a window, the white bar goes away when the list of open windows in the panel changes
What's interesting is when I keep running this command over and over, sometimes the panel even goes from no white bar to having the white bar. When I have the white bar, I can either keep running the command until it goes away or I can just open or close a window.
I have a feeling that when the panel loads, there is a chance that the white bar will appear due to some race condition, but I'm working on limited knowledge here. I'm just a user and I have no idea what's going on underneath the hood. Now, another thing that's interesting though is that if lucid originally boots with the white bar, opening or closing a window doesn't seem to make it go away unless I run the command first at least once.
