I confirm that the update crashes gnome-panel. The panel bars are displayed void of contents upon login.

The gnome panel crashes are caused by the glibc update which is the main subject of that thread. This xorg-x11-server-utils is a different and perhaps not quite as severe issue as the one with glibc. This update breaks xrdb, the binary it is supposed to fix. No other binaries are affected, so it's the choice between a functional binary with a moderately severe vulnerability or a non functional binary.
