You are not alone... I've just experienced this bug on a new installation of Lucid final release on an old PIII machine with a matrox video card running a 5:4 ratio flat panel (not native 1024x768). The panels would show correctly after any change to their properties, but be incomplete again at the next login.
My workaround was to change the screen resolution to 1024x768, after which the panels show correctly on login without any tweaking. I did see an odd 'flicker' effect on opening the screen, when the right hand edge (where the panel display is missing) was refreshed after the rest of the screen. -- Panel utilities not shown on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
