Title:
  GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session
  start in some situations

Status in Desktop panel for GNOME:
  Fix Released
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “gnome-panel” source package in Hardy:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The items on the gnome panel is disordered in some cases, one of these
  being changing the screen reolution, possibly other, more random,
  cases as well.

  -----

  Temporary solution:
  Backup the state of your panel:
  gconftool-2 --dump /apps/panel > panel_backup.xml

  and then restore it whenever it gets messed up:
  gconftool-2 --load panel_backup.xml
  killall gnome-panel (kills and auto-respawns, possibly need to run gnome-panel & as well)

  -----

  I have noticed for a while now that the above-mentioned phenomenon
  occurs when I, say, return from a shut-down. However, the strange
  thing is that it only happens on some occations. I don't really know
  what the problem is, so I can't, unfortunately, post more information.
