This should only happen if you change your panel config while its at the lower resolution, I think. Could you try and reproduce and attach the following - A dump of the panel config before change resolution the first time and after changing back to the original resolution - use "gconftool-2 --dump /apps/panel" - A screenshot from before and after Thanks Ok, I can try to reproduce and report. But first: is there a way I can save my gnome-panel? It takes quite some time to get it back in shape. If not, it would be helpful to know how to restore the default panel - To restore the default panel, do $> gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel - To save your panel config and restore it, you could do: $> gconftool-2 --dump /apps/panel > panel-config.dump [ Do your stuff ] $> gconftool-2 --load panel-config.dump You might need to re-start your panel at that point - "killall gnome-panel" Created attachment 117884 [details]

This is what the panel looked like afterwards
I should probably mention that in the sequence documented above, I did absolutely nothing, except switching resolution and do what you asked me to. Nothing was done to the panel while in 1024x768. Heh, that's actually quite funny - the problem is caused by some trickery that is supposed to *stop* people's panels getting screwed up when they switch resolutions. Basically, when you switch to the lower resolution the panel all your panel objects are squished together and the panel thinks that means you want all the applets on the right hand side. I don't think this would happen if you'd less things on your panel. A diff of the before and after configs show that all applets become "right stuck" e.g. @@ -16,11 +16,11 @@ launcher_location = gegl-00b540bf94.desktop tooltip = use_menu_path = false - panel_right_stick = false + panel_right_stick = true locked = false menu_path = applications:/ object_type = launcher-object - position = 380 + position = 6 /tmp/t2/objects/object_0: toplevel_id = panel_0 action_type = force-quit @@ -31,11 +31,11 @@ launcher_location = tooltip = use_menu_path = false - panel_right_stick = false + panel_right_stick = true locked = false menu_path = applications:/ object_type = action-applet - position = 538 + position = 4 /tmp/t2/objects/menu_bar: toplevel_id = top_panel action_type = lock Going to track this bug upstream, thanks for all the details.
