Mate bottom panel crashes after updates

Hello,
Yesterday I updated GhostBSD. Update Station added several tens of packages, updated a ten and reinstalled about 500 ones... Output of uname -U is 1202502.
Everytime I log in, the bottom panel of Mate crashes (messages are in french and are about Workspaces Switcher, Show Desktop and Window List).
I tried mate-panel --reset but the bottom panel keeps crashing. The faulty applet seems to be Window List as I soon as I add it, the bottom panel crashes.
Temporary solution for me is to add Window Selector instead.
Regards.

Works fine - however remember to right-click bottom panel and select 'reset panel' to take effect.
