It seems kinder to warn them BEFORE the panel gets garbled.
Proposed (prior to resizing) text:
[titlebar: Grandr -- Two 'Gnome Panel' Bug Warnings ]
Caution: when panels are crowded with buttons and applets,
shrinking or expanding the screen size can garble the panel.
Before: |A B C D E { app1, app2, ... }(switcher)(clock)|
After: | A B C D E{a1,a2..} (switcher)(clock)|
Caution: the 'grandr' applet button should be on the far LEFT of
the panel. If it's not, hit 'Cancel' now and move the button left.
(At lower resolutions a button on the right won't fit on the panel,
stranding you the user in a lower resolution.)
For more details on these no good bugs see:
<URLs of any relevant bugs>
Still want to resize? { OK } { Cancel }
Pixmaps for the 'Before' and 'After' examples would be even better.
