This bug is believed resolved as of gnome-panel 1:2.22.1.2-0ubuntu3. There
have been two stable release updates of gnome-panel since that time, but the
most recent of these was at the beginning of June and no regressions have
been reported since then (until now).

If the freeze clears itself after a restart, that also doesn't appear to be
consistent with this bug. It's possible that an update of a separate
package "confused" gnome-panel and caused the freeze; I've seen this
behavior myself before on upgrades but it was never reproducible and was not
pinned down. I would suggest that you open a separate bug report for
tracking this issue.

Cheers,
