[PD] pd interferes with gnome panel - any ideas?

[Matthias Blau]

> More specifically when does it happen? 
as I said, occasionally, but always when I start pd.

What version of PD are you using?
from the deb package that comes with sarge

> Could it be an external running? 
as it occurs when I start pd, there is just the pd console, nothing else

just drawers, a clock, the desktop switcher
