Hi,

I had the same problem and I resolve it by deleting the file ~/.gnome2/session (so in my home directory).

If you can access the Gnome Menu, go to Desktop Preferences > Advanced > Sessions, go to "Startup Programs" section and look if there's any gnome-panel command there.

Thanks! You saved me from deleting files etc. I looked in mine and found 2 gnome-panels and simply removed one. All's better
