The source of this problem is really close to the heart of the panel's design. It allows user-defined positions for applets, and these are stored with absolute values (in pixels). No amount of fiddling will change that that is a very poor, inflexible design. A better design can be seen in XFCE's panel and in some kinds of customizable toolbars like that in Firefox and some Gnome applications like Epiphany and Evince.
Even if someone _does_ figure out how to maintain applet layout when the resolution changes, there will be a hundred more bugs from the same place. What this really calls for is a true gnome-panel successor. (Which is a nice opportunity to deal with our last Bonobo dependency, too). I get the feeling such a project would actually be quite satisfying to do. More-so than digging into this bug. -- GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44082 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
