Public bug reported:

Hello,

This installation: Ubuntu 7.04 i386 desktop.

1) After installation, on the GNOME Desktop, I set screen resolution to 
1280x1024.  That's Ok.
Then I add some applets and gadgets to the upper toolbar by using the "+ Add to 
panel..." menu and dialog.  
See picture:  http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t4/gnome-panel-1.png

The gnome-panel looks so nice.

2) The I change screen resolution to 800x600.  
Well, the gnome-panel looks ok.  
See picture http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t4/gnome-panel-2.png

3) Then I change the resolution back to 1280x1024.   
Oops, what happened to the icons. 
See picture: http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t4/gnome-panel-3.png

The problem is that the standard icons (for Main menu, Evolution and
Ubuntu help) which came with the installation ARE LOCKED and CANNOT be
moved (their .desktop files are write protected). And the "Move" menu
selections is disabled.

The solution:  
gnome-panel should not use fixed numeric values for the icon positions. It 
should calculate icons' x-position as % (percentage) of the gnome-panel's 
width.  Then it will work with any screen resolution.  

Maybe GNOME already has a fix for this?
