[LAU] X, gnome-panel, jackd, ardour/rosegarden weirdness

I want to share one of those weird things that may save somebody's hair
follicles from excessive trauma:

Today I had a power failure. When my machine booted up again, I was
finding weirdness with ardour, rosegarden, jackd and X. On startup or
shutdown or rosegarden and/or ardour, X would stop responding to
keyboard and mouse clicks, but would still move the mouse cursor. Ardour
was still talking nicely to the BCF, but X was totally dead. I could ssh
into the box and kill the X server.

I eventually tracked it down to gnome-panel talking to
evolution-data-server. I've just rebuilt gnome-panel without that
capability, and stability has returned.

bye
John
