[Bug 478663] [NEW] Gnome panel orientation automatically resets

[Eric Amundson]

Public bug reported:

Here's what happened:

I like my panels reversed from the default Ubuntu install, so the
Applications menu is at the bottom and the panel showing open apps is at
the top.  I reorganized my panels, added some icons and set the bottom
panel so that it's not expanded.

Then, I restarted the PC and the panels were both on the top of the
screen when I logged in.  So, I right-clicked on the panel that was on
the bottom, chose 'bottom' in the orientation field, and it would be set
to 'bottom,' but pop right back to 'top' immediately.  I'd just click
the dropdown, select bottom, and it would show 'bottom' for half a
second and pop back to top.

I tried several times to get it to stick and was finally able to when I
checked the 'Expand' box again before selecting 'bottom' from the
dropdown.

Interestingly, once I did get it to move to the bottom and then
unchecked the 'Expand' box, it would also reset the orientation field
upon changing and will only 'stick' if I check the expand box again.

Thanks!

Eric
