Description: Discussion on linuxchix mailing list about running root commands as a user in GNOME prompted experimentation. Already had three panels running on my desktop as normal users. Tried opening gnome-terminal as same normal user and did "su -" and then "panel &". Got "Panel already detected: start a new one?" Said yes. New panel popped up and I got the crash dialogue about the panel crashing. It was for the three panels I had as the normal user. They respawned shortly afterwards.
Later attempts to replicate (I can't help it, I just like the crunch noise..) failed. Sorry!
