Don't hold your breath on this bug. The fix is more complicated than
meets the eye. I have looked into the source code and reported upstream
at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137473 .

Basically the "panel_right_stick" gconf is not treated consistently
between an "object" and an "applet" on the panel.

Going through the steps that originally describe the bug:
An "applet" will always lose it's "panel_right_stick"=TRUE and receive a 
relatively large "position" value.
An "object" can obtain a "panel_right_stick"=TRUE (even if originally 
"panel_right_stick"=FALSE)

Furthermore there is no UI method for "Right Stick to Panel" in the same
way there is a UI method for "Lock to Panel".

Fixing these issues could cause breakage to the gnome-panel API hooks.

comments? ideas?
