[Desktop-packages] [Bug 44082] Re: GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situations
This was fixed when gnome-panel was ported to GTK 3 last year. gnome- panel works pretty well in Ubuntu 12.04. ** No longer affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu Hardy) ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Fix Released ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) = (unassigned) -- 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/44082 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: Fix Released 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.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 44082] Re: GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situations
While it's great that locking down the panel solves this annoying bug, i like to change my panel configuration from time to time and as i am lazy i like to do that from the panel itself. As i didn't found any panel applet for this job i wrote this little shell script, which i trigger through a regular panel launcher. If you like to do that as well: - download the script somewhere (at best in your home directory, as it's by default a hidden file) - make sure it got execute permissions - create a launcher in the panel and enter the location of the script as command (like /home/USER/.gnome2_panel_lock_down) - install the libnotify-bin package OR disable notifications in the script with your favorite editor (like NOTIFY=off) Have fun. To me this solution is rather nice, also because the amount of people still caring about the old panel is quite shrinking and i don't think this will ever get fixed. ** Attachment added: .gnome2_panel_lock_down https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/44082/+attachment/2674435/+files/.gnome2_panel_lock_down -- 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/44082 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.

I confirm that NicoLehmann's work-around in comment #214 works. Setting global/locked_down on the panel prevents the applets from wandering during screen resolution changes. -- 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/44082 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.
