[Bug 52405] Re: gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers

[Jeremiah Poling]

sudo apt-get install menu menu-xdg
update-menus

seems to have fixed it for me.

with the interesting side effect of giving me a debian menu with
launchers for several programs the run in terminals as well as several
that I didn't realize were installed.
