Title:
  When screen rotated in Nvidia icons in GNOME panel get hidden

Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  . In "normal/landscape" rotation mode I have about 10 icons on a
  panel. I rotate my screen through Nvidia X Server settings utility to
  "portrait" mode and half the icons on the left side of panel get
  hidden behind "App..s Places System" menu. When I hover over the menu
  and click on it, the hidden icon's app still launches instead of
  opening the menu. If I click on the leftmost part of "Applications",
  that menu shows up and while so I can access "Places" and "System"
  menu items only by using my keyboard arrows. Don't know if problem is
  X Server, Nvidia driver or GNOME.

  In Windows when you put enough items on the panel it grows vertifcally
  and the items wrap around to a "second line". Does Ubuntu do the same
  and I just don't know how to set it up to do it?

  System info:

  ECS N2U400-A mobo, AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 2GBcpu, 1.2GB memory, Nvidia GeForce FX5200 AGPx8 gpu
  Ubuntu 11.04, kernel 2.6.38-11-generic
  GNOME 2.32.1

  X Server info (from Nvidia utility):

  Please advise to james_tovar@xxxxxxxxxxx.

  Thanks in advance.
