This happens to me, actually pretty much every time I log in. For me, the situation is that my laptop's screen runs at 1280x800 and my external monitor runs at 1920x1200, and I switch between the two all the time mid-session. I never use twinview; I just disable one monitor and enable the other.
This is with The Default Panel Configuration in Jaunty. I usually just delete those launcher applets and leave it be. I kept an eye on the panel configuration with gconf-editor. Initially, applets are placed correctly as copied from default_setup... /apps/panel/default_setup/applets/notification_area: locked:1 panel_right_stick:1 position:5 Note that each applet is placed from right to left, with "position" incrementing from 0 where 0 is rightmost. I checked later (sorry, STILL hunting for the pattern) and found this... /apps/panel/applets/notification_area_screen_0: locked:1 panel_right_stick:0 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) position:1279 The bottom panel also falls apart in the same way. They both do so at the same time. I tried starting the positions on the right side from 1 instead of 0, but it made no difference. I also tried positioning only the clock and the Hamster applet on the right, which did no good. ( Although it looked cleaner with the notifications beside the menu :) ) Notice that the posititons end up relative to the positions on my laptop's screen, but also a little bit off. -- GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44082 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
