The tasklist applet is implemented with libtasklist_applet.so, which is
provided by libpanel-applet0, which that person presumably installed
along with gnome-panel. The tasklist works fine for me.
However, I was seeing all kinds of Gnome problems ever since I upgraded
yesterday, *until* I stopped using an old Gtk theme I got off of
themes.org. Once I went back to the default theme, everything has been
very stable, so it does appear that there are themes that cause with
this latest version of gnome.
Some of the problems I was seeing were that the panel would often crash
when I tried to unhide it, certain applets crashed on a regular basis
(pager, quicklaunch, ...) and even unrelated software (e.g.,
glade-gnome, xchat) would crash. Most of the crashes were assertions
about refcounts in gdk pixmaps, but there were some segfaults too.
Possibly that is what is happening with the person who submitted the bug
report.
