Maybe there is a warning printed when (run xfce4-panel inside a terminal) after the crash?

Debugging a plugin is not very easy (sometimes not even possible), because the panel starts a new process.

Mm yeah I'd like to have some trace information. Can you put this in a bug report, including your location code, gtk/glib version etc?

Uhh.. is there Mantis or Bugzilla or other defect tracker for xfce plugins? I'm not familiar with this development so I don't know the particulars. Tell me what you want and how to do it and I'll be glad to.

Ah! That makes sense because I did install the weather plugin around the time the panel disappeared. As it turned out the weather plugin didn't work properly - it was really glitchy and I couldn't  get rid of it via "remove from panel". I had to uninstall it.  Now that I think about it the panel probably disappeared sometime after I uninstalled the plugin.

Well if you can find a (good) way to reproduce it (maybe some plugin causes the crash for example), I'd like to hear it...

But, if I run it in the default terminal (what is that called? just a reg 'ol xterm I think) I get the error I mentioned in my last post.

Again, if run in Alt+f2 -> xfce4-panel -> run, it just flashes and goes away.

CFLAGS="-O0 -g3 -ggdb" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-debug && make && make install

Create a backtrace in gdb (gdb xfce4-panel -> run -> bt) and create a bugreport here. I'll take a look ASAP.

Are there any warnings printed when you run xfce4-panel inside a terminal emulator?

Yes, thanks for the idea.

It seems to depend on what User Interface preference is selected. Sometimes I just get a Seg Fault. Most times the  error is:
***glibc detected *** xfce4-panel: free(): invalid pointer: 0x082ee3b0 ***

I got it back by Alt+f2 -> xfce4-panel -> run. I also selected to "Automatically save session on logout" in the Sessions and Startup settings.

And that worked.

However, I then quit and restarted and the panel doesn't appear. Subsequent "Alt+f2 -> xfce4-panel -> run" only flash the panel (like it's trying to start) and then it quickly disappears.

Any hints?

I've seen some signal problems while editing the panel, but /me has no time to fix them :oops:.

Many thanks!  Have you any idea why I lost it in the first place?  Is there a "hide panel" key combo I might have hit by accident?
