F7t4: GNOME locks up after panel reconfig and sounds added

[Steven I Usdansky]

Not sure which component this bug should be filed against, so I'll start here.
I booted the Test 4 CD into runlevel 3, ran startx to enter GNOME,
reconfigured the panels to my preferred configuration, and opened the control
panel and enabled sounds. All seemed well.  I then exited GNOME, and followed
that up with a startx command. Upon restart, no panels were visible, and the
system locked up after I right-clicked on the desktop. The problem also occurs
with F7t3/GNOME; FC6 is problem-free.
