Currently fix is availabe only in ubuntu 13.04. :( 1. If you have knowledge how to compile packages from source you could try download source, apply patches, compile and install pached gnome- panel. I can attach patches if needed, just ask. :)
2. You can try download gnome-panel packages from latest ubuntu. I dont know if you will be able to do that, as it may not install because of unmet dependencies. And these packages dosnt include full fix for this bug. You will need to download two packages (Download deb files listed under Downloadable files): gnome-panel (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/amd64/gnome-panel/1:3.6.2-0ubuntu3) gnome-panel-data (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/amd64/gnome-panel-data/1:3.6.2-0ubuntu3) 3. You may try to install packages which is built form upcoming ubuntu 13.10. These packages includes full fix for gnome-panel. You may not be able to install because of dependecies as in previous option. I will try add packages as attachments, if you dont see them I can try send them to your email if you want. To install downloaded packages run - sudo dpkg -i gnome-panel*.deb ** Attachment added: "gnome-panel_3.6.2-0ubuntu12_amd64.deb" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1083811/+attachment/3753762/+files/gnome-panel_3.6.2-0ubuntu12_amd64.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083811 Title: Duplicated panels using separate x screens Status in Desktop panel for GNOME: Fix Released Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I'm trying to use separate x screens on nvidia card with 3 monitors. I'm expecting one top panel + one bottom panel on each screen, but instead i have got all panels on one screen. Restarting gnome panel (gnome-panel --replace) it will create two extra (blank) panel pairs on same screen, but new applets will be added on first panel pair. Screenshot ilustrating problem can be found here - http://askubuntu.com/questions/177226/duplicated-menu-panel- indicators-and-taskbar I tried to manualy set screen key (org->gnome->gnome- panel->layout->toplevels->top-panel->screen) on wich screen panel should appear with dconf Editor. But restarting gnome-panel that key will be reseted. Downloaded gnome-panel source code (apt-get source gnome-panel), spend some time trying to find problem, and probably i found it in file panel-toplevel.c. Line 4458: if (!screen || GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)) Line 4459: screen = gdk_screen_get_default (); These lines are responsible for resetting screen key. It will reset screen to default if currenct screen exist, but its not what we want. We want reset screen to default if screen dosnt exist, so line 4458 should be - if (!screen || !GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)) After compiling and installing new package, gnome panel works as expected.
