@Mahendra Tallur: Did you lock the applets when you created your own
panels?By default these are locked on the stock panels, but are not when
you add your own applets. For a while now I feel that this has something
to do with the timing in which the panels is drawn, and then the
applets. Locking them may have an effect.
