[Bug 863258] [NEW] Indicators on the top right of the panel are often obscured or out of place on login

 

Public bug reported:

Release: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
gnome-panel version: 1:2.30.2-0ubuntu0.2

When I log into a new user session on my laptop, I expect that the indicators in gnome-panel on the top right are:
1) displayed clearly and without obstruction and
2) displayed in the same position as when I logged out last

What actually happens is rather random (possibly related to the speed I
login from gdm when my laptop boots). Occasionally, when I log in, the
indicators in the top left are both obscured (either by another
indicator, or an invisible object), and out of position. Re-organising
their position does not fix the fact that they are obscured. Crucially,
logging out then back in again will always fix the problem.
