On a new oi151a9 installation I have the problem that on gnome session start, the gnome-panel is not visible. I get only the green backdrop, but I can start a terminal with right mouse click context menu.
if I run in the terminal:
$ gnome-panel --replace
all is fine.

What is going wrong on session start? .xsession-erros logs only:

Any help appreciated.
