As the upload tool of launchpad doesn't work right now, here is my lazy
lock down script:

#!/bin/sh

### Config
NOTIFY=on	#(on/off)
LOCK_TITLE="Panel Lock Down"
LOCK_MSG="Locking the GNOME panel"
UNLOCK_TITLE="Panel Lock Down"
UNLOCK_MSG="Unlocking the GNOME panel"
LOCK_ICON="/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/gdu-encrypted-lock.png"
UNLOCK_ICON="/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/gdu-encrypted-unlock.png"

### Dependency checking
if [ -z "$(which gconftool-2)" ]; then
	if [ -n "$(which gconftool-2)" ]; then
		zenity --warning --text "Error. No binary found for gconftool-2!" --title "Panel Lock Down"
	else
		echo "Panel Lock Down: Error. No binary found for gconftool-2!"
	fi
	exit 1
fi	
if [ "$NOTIFY" = "on" ] && [ -z "$(which notify-send)" ]; then
	SCRIPT_LOCATION="$(pwd)/$(basename $0)"
	if [ -n "$(which zenity)" ]; then
		zenity --warning --text "Notifcations failed! Please install the libnotify-bin package or disable notifications in $SCRIPT_LOCATION" --title "Panel Lock Down"
	else
		echo "Panel Lock Down: Notifcations failed! Please install the libnotify-bin package or disable notifications in $SCRIPT_LOCATION"
	fi
	NOTIFY="off"
fi

### Main
if [ "$(gconftool-2 -g /apps/panel/global/locked_down)" = "true" ]; then
	[ "$NOTIFY" = "on" ] && notify-send -i $UNLOCK_ICON "$UNLOCK_TITLE" "$UNLOCK_MSG"
	gconftool-2 -s /apps/panel/global/locked_down --type=bool false
elif [ "$(gconftool-2 -g /apps/panel/global/locked_down)" = "false" ]; then
	[ "$NOTIFY" = "on" ] && notify-send -i $LOCK_ICON "$LOCK_TITLE" "$LOCK_MSG"
	gconftool-2 -s /apps/panel/global/locked_down --type=bool true
else
	if [ -n "$(which zenity)" ]; then
		zenity --warning --text "Error. Undefined state of global panel lock down!" --title "Panel Lock Down"
	else
		echo 'Panel Lock Down: Error. Undefined state of global panel lock down!'
	fi
	exit 1
fi

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.
