Binary package hint: gnome-panel
As described in Bug 247507, gnome panel breaks in various intresting ways on
screens with very limited vertical space if pulled into a vertical orientation
(on 480px height the default panel items overlap that heavily that you cant
even reach the panel itself to move it back to the top/bottom).
An option to lock down the position is needed to make it possble to avoid
accidential movement of the panel into a vertical orientation on such systems.
While the gconf key /apps/panel/global/locked_down offers an option to lock
down the panel completely, this also disables the context menu of the panel as
well as most context menu driven options for the applets.
The attached patch fixes teh issue, an SRU for hardy would be desired, but
due to teh policy that we dont change UI elements in the released version it
will need some work to only provide a gconf key and not a menu option as well.

+ TESTCASE:
+ - click on an empty gnome-panel space and try to dnd it to an another screen
border, it should be moved there
+ - set /apps/panel/toplevels/disable_movement to true in gconf-editor
+ - try doing a dnd on a gnome-panel, it should not be moving when the option
is set
