RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description John Brier 2010-08-10 14:26:22 UTC 
Description of problem:

After enabling my second monitor using the nouveau driver I cannot move both of the panels to my prefferred primary display. I did move the main panel with "applications, places, system" but I cannot move the one that has the desktop switcher from the right to the left.

Additionally if I right click on the main panel and click new panel it will show up on the right monitor and I cannot move that panel either. I am holding "Alt" and clicking on a vacant space on the panel to try and move it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


gnome-panel-libs-2.30.2-3.el6.x86_64
gnome-panel-2.30.2-3.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
one other person was able to reproduce on #rhel6-beta


Steps to Reproduce:
1. enabled second monitor if not already enabled
2. hold alt and click on vacant space on "bottom edged" panel
3. try to move it from the monitor/desktop space it is on to the opposite.
  
Actual results:
it won't move


Expected results:
it will move to any monitor/desktop

This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

Seems to work here.

Does it work with a freshly created "test" user?

Can you attach the output of gconftool-2 -R /apps/panel and gconftool-2 /desktop/gnome/lockdown

?

Comment 6 John Brier 2010-08-10 19:45:45 UTC 
I created a test user 'panel' and logged in. I noticed my right monitor was set as the primary so I sent to System > Preferences > Display and moved the green monitor from the right to the left. 

Then I was able to ALT + click and move *both* panels with no problem. I guess my other user is messed up. 

Now in my main user account when I ALT + click I do not get the "hand" that I get with the test user. What could cause this?

I attached the output you wanted from the broken user "jbrier" I did add the -R option to the last command because without it it didn't produce any output.
