[Bug 39856] Re: Panel in middle of the screen after reboot when not full-sized

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thanks for your bug.

from bug #44333:

"When I unckeck the "expand" button for the default bottom panel. Log
out and log in again; The panel which should (still) be appearing at the
bottom of the screen, places itself just under the top panel. This
behaviour was also found in the 'previous' version (Breezy).

Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new "desktop" user
- Log in to Gnome with newly created account
- Right-click bottom panel "Properties"
- Uncheck the "Expand" button
- Hit "Close" button
- Log out of session
- Log back in to Gnome again with same account (new one)

>> Now the bottom panel places itself just under the top panel

Note: When you try to set the orientation back to "Bottom" for the
(previous) Bottom-panel, It refuses that and 'automagically' reverts
back to "Top". Except when first checked the "Expand" button, it allows
to set the orientation back to "Bottom"."


Vincent, do you think that's a panel or window manager bug?
