Доброе время суток!
После сегодняшнего dist-upgrade наблюдается
bobah@bob ~ > pan

(pan:2194): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading menu image: u'A'C,I"I`I"?I"E" 
E'U'I"A^O`A'O"A*I^E'N~ ?I"?O`A*O"A"?I^
The program 'pan' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length 
erro'.
(Details: serial 87 error_code 16 request_code 154 minor_code 20)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Загрузка gnome падает на gnome-panel.
