I also suffer from this problem on karmic. I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix, where this bug results in some other usability problems. The panel on netbooks is very small, and contains the title bar of the active window. When applets from the right side move around and move to the left, they shorten the title bar for the active window, making it less readable, and wasting precious panel space.
