One thing I don't understand is if it would suffice to keep the order of
applets; currently it is messed up.

I've done some more testing (switching resolutions, logging out and in at
different resolutions) and I must say that my applets always retain their
correct position since when I've set all positioning values manually. Though
what I noticed is that while right_stick is always preserved,
Don't hold your breath on this bug. The fix is more complicated than
meets the eye. I have looked into the source code and reported upstream
at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137473 .
Basically the panel_right_stick gconf is not treated consistently

I've been looking through the gnome-panel source and here is what I
understand at the moment:
The bug probably occurs in a file that has the following #include line:
#include panel-gconf.h
The file that seems most likely to have the offending bug is 'panel.c'
Correct me if I am wrong here.
I think one should rather look at the gnome-panel source code, it is
more likely that the panel listen to screen resolution changes events
and resizes itself accordingly than the screen resolution program itself
resizing the panel. At least this is the impression I got looking at the
gnome-panel

You're welcome. In case you make any interesting findings, please report
- as stated above I have the impression that the file panel-toplevel.c
is a good starting point to study the behavior of the panel, but as the
code is next to undocumented, it is quite difficult to understand it at
first
From my own investigations so far I guess the best starting point is
panel-toplevel.c in the sources of gnome-panel-2.26.0 - gnome-panel.

The fact is that this is not something an average user should worry about.
Most people don't care about the placement of these objects and applets.
The fact that these settings can be changed by anything other than direct
user intervention (ie: screen resolution) should be fixed.

Just my 2 cents:
Some people here have discussed the options: relative positioning,
keeping track of positions with different resolutions, flexible spaces,
etc.
However, as some others have pointed out already, gnome already _has_ a
great scheme, which is actually working very well: the
From what I can judge the problem is not how the panel behaves when it
is resized, but how it behaves when adding applets to the panel, i.e.
practically always choosing to store the position as absolute from left,
instead of from right. In fact, once I corrected all the settings
manually in gconf,
I think the problem _is_ how the panel behaves when it is resized. Have
a look at the first comments.
There's a workaround with gconf which makes the panel's handling much
more graceful, but this is analogous to Windows users having to edit the
registry to be able to change resolutions nicely. It
@Sandro:
I agree with Aidan. It's not only when adding applets. However, I just now only
managed to break things when switching to lower resolution, log off, log in,
switching to higher resolution. Without the log off, log in, I tried to restart
the panel between, before and after switching
I have been frustrated by this problem for a long time through several
different Ubuntu releases... I run Ubuntu as a virtual machine and
switching from fullscreen to windowed mode produces this behavior
often...
The trouble is that this behavior can occur with a reboot or a simple
update-manager
Firefox's solution to this problem (for its customizable toolbars) is to
have a flexible space item that acts like a spring, expanding and
contracting as needed to push the controls to its left and right all the
way to the left and right ends of the toolbar, respectively. Firefox's
toolbars also
Good to see the workarounds. However, this is still broken out of the
box in Jaunty.
I have attached a screenshot with panel at 1920 width, then downsized to
1280 without any interference.
For some reason my two right-side controls (workspace switcher, window
selector) get moved into the middle
The best solution that works for me I've come up so far is the following:
The problem seems to be that gnome has difficulties to decide whether it should
store the position of an applet as aligned to the left or to the right.
Consequently, what I did was in the gconf-editor manually browse to
Another workaround is forcing the values back to their default value.
Now at least panel won't overwrite them any more.

Just like most people here, my screen resolution is 1280x1024 and when I run
fullscreen application--which is in my case an old Windows game using Wine at
640x480--all launchers/applets are moved to the right.
The strange thing is this problem didn't happen when I was using Hardy!

Workaround found on Ubuntuforum:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=342775
To manually save my panel layout once:
gconftool-2 --dump /apps/panel panel_layout_1280_800.entries
and restore the layout after switching back from a different resolution:
gconftool-2 --load
It seems the workaround is working out of the box, without any user
action (kind of a fix, in fact :)
When were the said gconf keys introduced ?
I went to the said keys in gconf and found they were already set
(panel_right_stick, ...).
So I changed my resolution, relaunched gdm, relogged-in,
Well, for this bug to be fixed, it would have to need not interaction

Here's a workaround. I did not test it very well. It keeps the objects

I have a lot of launchers on top panel, so decreasing resolution won't
let them fit into panel. When using something fullscreen in Wine, all

This happens especially when using full-screen applications (eg. SDL

Many of the panel elements are moved. Sometimes it is the logout button,
sometimes the Firefox quick start icon and sometimes the notification

It is even more serious as with xrandr, gnome-panel will adjust its size to the
