Something similar happens when switching the panel to be on the left or right:
1. Setup panel to be 'top' and unset 'expand'. 2. Re-open panel properties. 3. Set location to be 'left' or 'right'. The panel now appears in the middle of the screen. Then do 4. Set 'expand', and the panel goes to the left or right as it should have done rightaway. -- Panel in middle of the screen after reboot when not full-sized https://launchpad.net/bugs/39856 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
