[SOLVED] Gnome-panel crashes on every login after upgrade to 2.28

Hi,

I just upgraded to Gnome 2.28 and now, on every new login, the panel hangs when it switches to transparency from compiz. I have to kill it, then it comes back fine. Anyone else expieriencing these problems?

Best Regards,
Sebastian

How are you starting Compiz?

Make sure in gconf that apps -> metacity -> general -> compositing_manager is NOT checked if you're using compiz (if you haven't already).

How are you starting Compiz?

Compiz is activated in startup programs, fusion-icon is launched there, as described in the wiki.

The compositing of metacity is disabled, too.

Edit: The latest updates to 2.28.1 fixed it.
