The way that this works is that the panel does all of the work. Basically in the configuration there is a suggested location and the panel tries it's best to honor that suggestion. So what we do in the default configuration is set the locations to incremental pixel locations, for example the FUSA applet at 1 and the clock at two. The panel first honors the FUSA request and puts it on the right, and then honors the clocks request to be as close to that as possible. So an upgrade script doesn't really need to do heuristics as much as it needs to ensure that there is a count between all of the applets and that, of the right aligned applets, the FUSA applet has the lowest number. The panel will take care of the rest. -- When FUSA applet has shutdown/logout items are duplicated in "System" menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
