Hi all!
The probelm was the following:
During the upgrade of the packages somwthing might went wrong, and this
generated an error in the ~/.gnome/session config file. There were five
instances of the following-like sequence (so as many as panels started):
5,id=default7
5,RestartStyleHint=2
5,Priority=40
5,Program=panel
5,CurrentDirectory=/home/david
5,CloneCommand=panel --sm-config-prefix /panel.d/default-NspR62/
5,RestartCommand=panel --sm-config-prefix
/panel.d/default-NspR62/ --sm-client-id default7
After deleting four instances and deleting --sm-config-prefix
/panel.d/default-NspR62/ from the rows above, only two instances of panel
started. So I had to log in as another user, delete the unnecessary
instances and after that remove the string "--sm-config-prefix
/.gnome-smproxy-DhZZrB/" from the following lines. This probably caused not
loading the cached session after restarting (or logging out of) the gnome
session.
5,id=default0
5,RestartStyleHint=2
5,Priority=0
5,Program=gnome-smproxy
5,DiscardCommand=rm /root/.gnome//.gnome-smproxy-DhZZrB
5,CloneCommand=gnome-smproxy --sm-config-prefix /.gnome-smproxy-DhZZrB/
5,RestartCommand=gnome-smproxy --sm-config-prefix
/.gnome-smproxy-DhZZrB/ --sm-client-id default0
