It seems the workaround is working out of the box, without any user action (kind of a fix, in fact :)
When were the said gconf keys introduced ? I went to the said keys in gconf and found they were already set (panel_right_stick, ...). So I changed my resolution, relaunched gdm, relogged-in, changed again back to 1200x800, and the applets where in the right place/ right order, except for the one that was in the middle of my panel, at a fixed position. So, apllets on the left where on the left, applets on the right where on the right in good order, and applets at an arbitrary fixed position were at an other arbitry fixed position. Not so bad. Quite good.
