mobile icons

[Karl Bowden]

Could be it too. I didnt have any problems with the panel on this machine
until I setup dual monitors and one monitor was bigger than the other.
Nvidia again. I only locked and unlocked the items and most of them are well
behaved now. But I have encountered machines in the past that I needed to
destroy the panels to get everything to behave (very uncommon though).
Good work though. Sounds like your getting the hang of it.

Cheers
Karlos
