While it's great that locking down the panel solves this annoying bug, i like to change my panel configuration from time to time and as i am lazy i like to do that from the panel itself. As i didn't found any panel applet for this job i wrote this little shell script, which i trigger through a regular panel launcher.
If you like to do that as well: - download the script somewhere (at best in your home directory, as it's by default a hidden file) - make sure it got execute permissions - create a launcher in the panel and enter the location of the script as command (like /home/USER/.gnome2_panel_lock_down) - install the "libnotify-bin" package OR disable notifications in the script with your favorite editor (like "NOTIFY=off") Have fun. To me this solution is rather nice, also because the amount of people still caring about the old panel is quite shrinking and i don't think this will ever get fixed. ** Attachment added: ".gnome2_panel_lock_down" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/44082/+attachment/2674435/+files/.gnome2_panel_lock_down -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44082 Title: GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-panel/+bug/44082/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
