Gnome bottom panel keeps dying

I've reported a similar problem a few times with my F12 64-Bit desktop
installation and my 32Bit laptop installation. I think this might have
started w/ F11.

To remedy this, in both cases, I open a terminal window, then
> ps waux | grep gnome-panel
> kill <gnome-panel process-id>

It's a bit heavyhanded, but short of doing a reboot until I get the panel,
this seems to restore my bottom panels; however, the weather applets won't
work w/o a complete logout/reboot.

Thanks.
