From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: on the preferences for sliding panels, you can only position them to the right or left. a centered option would be quite handy, particularly for CDE style panels. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always
The positions in the properties dialog for the sliding panel are just the side to offset from, you can drag the panel wherever you want, including the center. I think the dialog is just leaking some implementation details it shouldn't. In any case, moving to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95136 (we don't typically make UI changes like this on the Red Hat level). Should add comments to the gnome.org bug for the panel developers to see.
