[Bug 712687] Re: gnome panels disappear for no apparent reason

 

LVDS1 reactivates when VGA1 is being dimmed just prior to being powered
off as a result of the inactivity timer. At the same time, the gnome
panels are moved from VGA1 to LVDS1. "Unminimized" application windows
remain on VGA1. The workaround described in Comment #3 restores things
to how they were and how they are supposed to be.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
  
  gnome panels disappear from the active display when the display is being
  "put to sleep," in the case of a multimonitor setup where the external
  monitor is active and the built-in laptop display is turned off.
