Early wednesday morning April 6, yum update loaded glibc-2.5-58.
This seems to be what broke gnome-panel on my Scientific Linux 5.4
systems, and is affecting other SL users elsewhere. If I restart
X, the gnome panel goes away, and sometimes gnome hangs (though
ssh access still works).
While this distro is based on some 3 year old components, the
panel problem also may be affecting Ubuntu 11.10 alpha:

I'm still learning more about this. Until then, I suggest folks
don't logout/login (which restarts X) until they are sure they
are not affected, or have time to debug it.
