Crashing

Sorry if this has been addressed somewhere else, I did search the lists, 
but was not able to find a solution to my problem.

Nvidia Card w/ Nvidia Driver
Gnome 2.22 (fresh install)
FreeBSD NeHe.xxx 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 
UTC 2008     root at logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

Generic Kernel, no changes or additional software, other than Gnome and 
dependencies.

I am not positive, but it seems that every time I enable compositing 
(either through gnome or using compiz), pressing ALT-F2, or trying to 
add an application to the panel results in gnome-panel crashing a 
horrible death (then restarting).

I do not see any error messages in my logs, and I am not 100% certain 
compositing is the problem.  Right now I have compositing off, and 
everything seems to be fine.

My system was running fine on Gnome 2.20.  My upgrade went without a 
hitch.  But after rebuilding all of my ports from scratch, and still 
having the ALT-F2 problem I decided it would be best to format and start 
fresh.  I didn't notice the crash when adding an application to the 
panel, until I attempted to add firefox and thunderbird to the panel.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Is there a solution?
