[Bug 187540] Re: Gnome-panel freeze when 8 windows are open when the panel is vertical

2009-03-27 Thread Luca Cremonesi
 Sad thing is that users having notebooks with widescreen will still suffer 
 from this bug.
 Of course as long as they won't waste their vertical space with 
 horizontal-oriented
 panels or run too many GUI applications.

A partial solution for my widescreen laptop was the use of Separtors in an 
expanded panel to limit the growth of the Window List applet to a maximum of 7 
rows of buttons.
It's not an optimal solution but it is extremely easy to adopt and it works.

 you just need to place a separator on panel somewhere
 below window list applet not allowing it to expand too
 much (to a maximum of 7 rows of buttons).

That's exactly what I meant.
- Put a Separator a little below the Window List applet;
- Launch at least eight applications;
- Move the Separator until you have no more than seven rows of buttons so that 
the eighth button appears in the second column;
- Lock the Window List and the Separator to the panel.

Hope this helps.
