From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: i moved the panel notification area to the menu panel. i normally just have the rhn applet up and running there. but i've found that when the authentication keys get added to it, instead of laying the new icon horizontally, it does it vertically, causing both to be half off the actual panel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.put the notification panel in the menu panel and have at least one item in the it, such as the rhn-applet. i've found that you need to have it like this at the start. if you move it to the menu panel later, things seem to work ok. 2.cause another icon to go there, by doing something like running one of the redhat-config-* apps. 3.watch the icons get laid out vertically. Actual Results: icons laid out vertically beyond panel bounds Expected Results: icons laid out horizontally Additional info: moving the notification panel seems to fix the problem, so it appears to be related to when an icon first gets added.
This is the same bug as #75718. Seems the only way to fix it is to delete the settings for Panel in the .gconf and .gconfd folders. I would not recommend doing this unless you REALLY need to!
