5RC9 (20th april) DVD 32 with default Mate install On login mate panels slide out at the top and bottom but they have no menus or applets. Other than that, the desktop appears normal, with icons on the actual desktop itself. The applets appear to be running in the background, it gives notifications of updates, but both the panels are completely empty. That includes when an application is opened/minimised it is not shown in the bottom panel. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

Just to make sure; reinstalled on 32bit VM and specified Mate only as desktop environment. Panels looked fine. Added a new user and logged her in. Panels still OK.
I only had a chance to download RC9 last night, thanks to Claire gave me the access. I' ll test both x86_64 and i586 classic isos tonight. Btw, i can not reproduce this on a fully updated Cauldron machine with a new user.
Trying RCv9 Classic DVD real x64 EFI h/w. Installed Gnome, KDE, LXDE, Mate, XFCE. Claire's problem was *not* evident, all panels basically OK. Don't know about panels sliding up & down - an option [hide] to explore?

Don't know > about panels sliding up & down - an option [hide] to explore? Lewis, just right click on a panel and choose "properties" from menu. There you can check "Autohide" option to hide panel.
Ok. I'm on RC9 32 bit on a fresh created VM and can not reproduce the issue. Panels are working without a problem. Autohiding is working also. Note that KDE and XFCE is also installed to this system.
What out this bug ? can we decrease priority while we do not have more reports confirming it?
Yes, good idea.
Priority: release_blocker => Normal
Claire, it seems to me this is a race condition but neither journalctl nor xsession-errors files don't give a clue. If you still experienced this problem with final testing isos; would you mind to kill mate-panel and restart from commandline? Post the output please.
