[Bug 44082] Re: GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situations
While it's great that locking down the panel solves this annoying bug, i
like to change my panel configuration from time to time and as i am lazy
i like to do that from the panel itself. As i didn't found any panel
applet for this job i wrote this little shell script, which i trigger
through a regular panel launcher.
If you like to do that as well:
- download the script somewhere (at best in your home directory, as it's by default a hidden file)
- make sure it got execute permissions
- create a launcher in the panel and enter the location of the script as command (like /home/USER/.gnome2_panel_lock_down)
- install the "libnotify-bin" package OR disable notifications in the script with your favorite editor (like "NOTIFY=off")
Have fun. To me this solution is rather nice, also because the amount of
people still caring about the old panel is quite shrinking and i don't
think this will ever get fixed.

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:

Status in “gnome-panel” source package in Hardy:

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.
