cannot move one panel from one monitor to the other
Last modified: 2013-08-14 19:05:37 EDT
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 Additional info:

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 ?

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.
