Wait... is some team a FAILURE AT LIFE or is it just me? I'm sorry, that was rude. Almost as rude as leaving one of the most annoying bugs unfixed for four years, not quite, but close. Don't be a Microsoft! I'm pretty sure even I, yes, I could write the code to fix this in four years time. If I had known this was still an issue I might have done so last summer when I had free time, but I thought "surely they've got someone on this." And I was sooo happy with Lucid Lynx because the applets were behaving themselves until just now. Seriously. I don't want to go back to KDE. Fix This! How hard can it be to fix? If you wanted a lazy fix you could load each applet, individually, in the order they're supposed to appear. I don't care if it adds five seconds to the login time as long as we get this fixed, rearranging applets is a complete waste of time, and a baffling failure in UI design. KDE doesn't have this problem last time I checked. Mac doesn't. Even Windows doesn't. In fact, last time I checked.... EVERY user interface on the planet that has rearrangeable ANYTHING remembers the order you put them in. Am I being overzealous or over-the-top on this issue? I don't mean to be, but it is beyond my comprehension that something like this has been allowed to persist for years on end. Maybe we're suggesting that the "grass is greener on the other side" so let's wait until Gnome Shell. Yeah, that's the way to fix this bug. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please fix this for the Long Term Support version of Ubuntu. Oh wait, that's the next version. Please, please, please fix it for Lucid Lynx. If this was such an insanely difficult bug to fix, why hasn't the community been directly asked to help fix this bug? If that had happened while I wasn't under a mountain of honors classes at school, I would have been willing to give it a go.
