LXPanel problem after LXDE Re-Login

[elvis]

When I enter for the 1st time in LXDE, my LXPanel is ok and looks like the following pic:


But if I logout and then I re-login in LXDE, LXPanel has a very bad aspect:


A simple lxpanelctl restart is a good fix for the problem, but I'd like an automatic solution.
I've tried to add the previous command to the /etc/lxdm/PostLogin script, but without success.

Suggestions?

I have not experience with installing/reinstalling Intel drivers, because I have always found them already installed in all my previous distros. How to reinstall them in the safest way?

[wolfden]

should be package:
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel

[elvis]

Yes, I have this one whitin the installed packages.

Basically I have to do the following steps?

-> # equo remove x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel
-> # equo install --ask x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel
-> reboot system

An alternative could be trying to reinstall LXPanel instead of video drivers?

[wolfden]

no need to remove

[elvis]

Unfortunately problem persists after reinstalling drivers too.

Should I try to reinstall LXPanel itself?

[wolfden]

Can't hurt

X error: BadGC << usually points to video driver tho
