Jim,
when adding new user, i have exactly the same problem. Even login as 
root. so i dont think it could come from any foder in the user dir.
SElinux is disable.
I tried to remove all the gnome-panel and deps, and install them back, 
but the problem is exactly the same. The only thing i found was this :
 >>"Maybe the right fix would be to tell gnome_segv to not restart 
 >>programs that
 >>will be already restarted by the session."
 >>Can be a good solution.
from there : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309539#c8

but i cant find any thing with such a gnome-segv anywhere :(

kde works, but i am a gnome user :-/

thx for any help !
