This might very well be related to gnopernicus.  I don't think it's
received much testing on FreeBSD.  Did you enable gnopernicus each time
you started GNOME on a fresh account?

This core file looks interesting. That's from gnopernicus.  Rebuilding
gnopernicus with debugging symbols, then running the core through gdb
might give us an idea as to why srconf is crashing.

You can also try adding one applet/feature at a time, and see which one
causes the panel problems.  Such problems are not common which is why
I'm thinking it's related to gnopernicus.
