The bug is still there in Gusty with Gnome 2.20.0 It is even more serious as with xrandr, gnome-panel will adjust its size to the smallest output resolution. When coming back to normal resolution, applets are arranged in a apparent random order...
Howto reproduce : - on a laptop, resolution is 1200x800 - place applets and lock them on the top panel - plug in a video-projector (say it supports 1024x800) - type 'xrandr --output VGA --auto' in a terminal - the video-projector will display desktop : great !! - the integrated LCD display remain in 1200x800. Cool. - gnome-panel will adjust its size to fit the 1024x800 VGA display. Really cool. - sell your stuff to the audiance :) - unplug the projector and type 'xrandr --output VGA --off' - gnome-panel goes back to its original size... really nice - BUT : applets are all mixed up :( -- Applets do not scale well with changing resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36189 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
