Panel Crashes when running apt upgrades

I am experiencing an issue that originally felt like #27 (closed) but upon digging deeper I realized that it is actually a separate thing. Reading the docs I found the commands to enable debug and finally remembered to capture everything before doing anything else on my system. Weirdly, the debug doesn't show anything meaningful to me (attached), however inadvertently leaving the debug terminal open after resetting the panel, I do see some strangeness.

The FULL terminal output, including the above is attached Panel-Debug.txt

System, and configuration details

My OS is MX-23_ahs_x64 Libretto (July 31, 2023) Kernel 6.4.4-1~mx23+1 Docklike Taskbar version 0.4.1 But "Show preview thumbnails" is unchecked. I also do not use middle-click.

The non-defaults that I have right now are:

• 2 x Panels, one for each of my two monitors
• "Only show applications on current display"
• Force Icon size = 32

Other crashes have happened after login (reboot).
