First, the bug does not only affect "lxpanelctl run" but to any lxpanelctl command. Couldn't the
thread be renamed?

I have this problem running a regular ubuntu 11.10, with lubuntu-desktop.
It seems, the bug appears only in this combination and not in clear lubuntu-installations.

According to source code, lxpanelctl sends via XSendEvent() an event to DefaultRootWindow(). As lxpanelctl exits with exit code 0, I suppose the event was sent correctly. However, it seems, this event never reaches the xpanel. Anyone here who knows how to debug X11 events? Somewhere I read, that some window managers/desktop managers replace the X11 root window in some weird ways. Maybe this is the case here?
