i do not experience this particular problem, but please note that the
current gnome on debian sarge is slightly broken, because it uses a mix
of 2.8 and 2.10 packages. i've had manby problems with the panel as a
result of that, so it's quite likely that this is a gnome-panel problem
rather than pd.
if you can't wait for sarge to deliver a more stable 2.10 gnome, maybe
you should downgrade all gnome packages for 2.8 in the meanwhile (it
did solve most of my problems).
