Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
You cannot easily access the panel properties when a panel is full with applets, like the bottom panel in default Ubuntu. In fact, to change its properties, you have to - remove an existing applet (say, the "show desktop" applet) - right click to the newly created empty space and select properties - change properties - add the precedently removed applet To resolve this bug, I would propose to create a general configuration application that permits to select the panel of which you want to edit the properties. This application would be placed in System->Preferences->Panels Present in gnome-panel 2.16 ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-panel - I cannot easily access the panel properties when a panel is full with applets, like the bottom panel in default Ubuntu. + You cannot easily access the panel properties when a panel is full with applets, like the bottom panel in default Ubuntu.
