           Summary: dragging the top panel around with a multiload-applet-2
                    in it causes a crash
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gnome-applets
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: dooglus at gmail.com
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


Here's how:

1. right-click in some empty space on the panel at the top of the screen
2. "Add to Panel..."
3. click "System Monitor" in the "System & Hardware" section
4. click "Add"
5. right-click on the cpu-meter that appears in the panel
6. click 'Preferences'
7. turn on 3 or 4 of the graphs.  I use "processor", "network", "swap space" and
"harddisk"
8. click 'Close"
9. find some more empty space on the panel at the top of the screen
10. click and hold the left mouse button on that empty space in the panel.  the
mouse cursor should become a fist
11. drag the fist to the left border of the screen.  the panel will redraw along
the left side.  I usually get a crash at this point.  if you don't get a crash,
keep the left mouse button held down and try dragging to the right side and the
bottom edge in turn.  wave the mouse around all over the screen.  I always get a
crash within a few seconds of doing this.

The crash looks like this:

  The application "multiload-applet-2" has quit unexpectedly.

At that time, my mouse cursor is stuck as a fist, and won't click anywhere, so I
have to use the keyboard to chose "close".  Then I see:

  "System Monitor" has quit unexpectedly, along with the option to reload it.
