Not too surprising. Your tickets go away, the X server goes away, and
only then does panel notice that anything is out of the ordinary, and
now it can't write anything to your homedir.
I'm not sure how to fix this other than forcing a sync to disk every
time a launcher is moved or any other panel configuration change
happens. The logout alias could send a signal to panel, but that
sounds complicated and error-prone.
