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? -- Applets do not scale well with changing resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36189 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
