Which panels? References? Bugs?

This is a reference to a bug that got closed by the commit being
reverted. This now breaks it again, can't use the Closes: tag here.

Since the original commit was backported to stable, I think we're
probably going to be screwed if we do the revert + fix in two
steps. Maybe we want a fix in one go, and backport that to stable. Idk.

BR,
Jani.
