For all of you still suffering from this bug, I attached a script called
"save-panel" which works around this bug.  It reads the icon positions
from gconf and generates a second script, "restore-panel", which
restores the icon locations to their saved positions. To use it...


1. Copy save-panel to your home folder.

2. Open the terminal. Run "cd ~" 
3. Make it executable using "chmod +x ./save-panel"

4. Run "./save-panel", this will generate the restore-panel script in
the current directory.

5. To test the restore-script, move a few icons on your panel and then
run "./restore-panel".

The panel should restart with the icons in the right place.

If the script worked correctly, it can then be added to the Ubuntu's
Startup applications to fix icon reshuffling on startup...


1. System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications.

2. On the "Startup Programs" tab click "Add"

3. Enter "Restore Panel" for name.

4. Browse to your restore-script in your home folder for the command.

5. Press save.

When Ubuntu starts up, the panel will be restarted and the icons
locations will be restored.
