Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
On my desktop, the calendar applet and/or the user switch/logout applet
very often display only half of their widget area. For the calendar
applet, this means that the time information is missing. For the user
switch applet, this means that there is no logout button.
In previous versions of Ubuntu, I also had problems with the panel:
Frequently (but not always) the top and bottom panel were reverted after
logging in. I had to call "gnome-panel --replace" in a console to reload
the panel. This always fixed the issue.
In Karmic there seems to be a patch for the reverted panels, because
sometimes when logging in I can observe that the top and bottom panels
are exchanged, but after a few seconds they automatically rearrange
themselves to be on the right place again.
"gnome-panel --replace" also fixes the "cutoff" applets. However, this
is a new and very annoying bug, which is one of the sort which prevents
"non-power-users" from using Ubuntu. How should I tell my friends
"Ubuntu is great, but occasionally you will not have an opportunity to
logout anymore"???
See the screenshot attached.
Additional infos: I have the nvidia graphics driver and compiz running.
Please let me know if I can provide some further information for
tracking down this problem.
