[Bug 44082] Re: GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situations

 

Oops, seems like upload tool doesn't like hidden files or at least it
failed. Rename to ".gnome2_panel_lock_down" after downloading if you
like.

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.
