I also happens in edgy. I have been browsing the code, and it seems like it can be patched. I attach the patch. I am newbe and I am not a member who can modify any software. I do not know really how this is going and who has to read this is order to aprove and apply this patch to a new distro or update.
I also write the steps I have done: sudo apt-get source xfce4-battery-plugin "modify the battmon.c file with the patch." cd xfce4-battery-plugin-0.4.0 sudo dpkg-buildpackage cd .. dpkg -i xfce4-battery-plugin_0.4.0-0ubuntu4_i386.deb The panel is no longer resized when the battery monitor is added. ** Attachment added: "Patch to solve the resizing problem of the panel when adding a battery monitor to xfce" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5551742/battmon.c.diff -- [Dapper] xfce4-battery-plugin - options do not respect panel size setting https://launchpad.net/bugs/39763 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
