On opening the 'Run Application' dialog via shortcut gnome-panel dies on almost half the times (no pattern found): "The Application "gnome-panel" has quit unexpectedly." I think this happens since updating to gnome-panel-2.12.2.
by shortcut, do you mean alt+f2? this works fine here. have you done a revdep-rebuild lately?
Don't remember the original shortcut, changed it to ctrl+space. Just did a revdep-rebuild, no gnome package has been mentioned in the output. Going back to 2.12.1 didn't help.
I have same problem after last system update: Menu item "Run application" removed from "Application" menu. But I can to start it when I press Alt-F2. revdep-rebuild do not help me.
by default, run application is removed from the menu for 2.12. @Sergey: does your panel crash when doing Alt+F2 to bring up the run application? ( or another key combination you set it to ) or are you just saying its removed from the menu? Thanks

Seems gnome-panel dies each second time I bring up the 'Run Application' dialog, except for the first 2 times after booting.
When gnome-panel dies, try to launch a gnome-terminal, for example, an execute "gnome-panel". Later, try to reproduce the bug and post the error here. Thanks :)
Good idea. But gnome-panel automaticaly restarts. Brings up the dialog Restart or Cancel, but after Cancel it restarts anyway (on Restart you will get an endless row of "already running" messages). I looked, but couldn't find an option to turn this off (via gconf).
you can stop it from restarting in gnome-session-properties -> current session tab .
It looks like I can't trigger the bug after changing gnome-panel from Restart to Normal in the Sessions dialog. In other words, the panel only dies with Restart style.
It seems the problem disappeared thanks to a recent update (don't know when and what exactly)

Please, reopen. I hit the same error each time I press alt+f2.
