Title:
  udisk update removed gnome panels from desktop

Status in “udisks” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udisks

  Two week ago I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my old eMachine T1221.  When
  the installation was complete, I installed all of the Security and
  Recommended Updates that the Update Manager listed.  Outside of some
  minor irritations concerning the Intel video section, things went
  without major incident.  A couple of days ago, I decided to make some
  changes to the configuration, so I started out with do a fresh install
  of 10.04.  Again, when the install was complete, I installed all the
  updates listed by the Update Manager, something on the order of 257 in
  total.  When I rebooted, the boot sequence was noticeably slower.
  When the desktop did finally appear, neither of the top or bottom
  panels ever appeared.

  I research the net a bit and found that I could right click on the
  desktop, choose to Change Desktop Background, from which I could
  change the Theme to one of the High Contrast options.  This resulted
  in the gnome panels appearing in a somewhat bloated form.  But, at
  least that allowed me to use "Applications" to get to the Terminal.
  From there, simply using

  sudo gnome-panel

  would force the panels into a more normal configuration.  However,
  with any fresh boot or reboot, the panels would again disappear.

  As this was no really a solution, I did a another fresh install of
  10.04. Again, the Update Manager advised of 257 updates to be
  installed.  I then laboriously when through the process of de-
  selecting all but the single top update, installing just one update at
  a time.   It should would help if the Update Manager had a (Clear All)
  option available.

  Any way, after several hours and literally over 200 reboots, I did not
  encounter the problem again until I installed the udisks update listed
  tin the Recommended Updates list.  Immediately after installing it, a
  reboot resulted in a Desktop with no panels.

  At this point, I did yet another fresh install of 10.04.  Upon
  completion, I used the Update Manager to install all BUT the udisks
  update.  I have repeatedly shut down and rebooted with everything
  acting normally.

  Clearly, the problem is occurring with this udisks update.
