Thank you for hint on the usage of gconftool-2. It really makes a difference. For a long time I did not have any problems with icons in the panel, since the end of the Hardy Heron era, until about a couple of weeks ago, all of them went biserck, and either disappeared or shifted in place. Again, thank you!

** Description changed:

+ The items on the gnome panel is disordered in some cases, one of these
+ being changing the screen reolution, possibly other, more random, cases
+ as well.
+
+ -----
+
+ Temporary solution:
+ Backup the state of your panel:
+ gconftool-2 --dump /apps/panel panel_backup.xml
+
+ and then restore it whenever it gets messed up:
+ gconftool-2 --load panel_backup.xml
+ killall gnome-panel (kills and auto-respawns, possibly need to run gnome-panel & as well)
+
+ -----

  I have noticed for a while now that the above-mentioned phenomenon
  occurs when I, say, return from a shut-down. However, the strange thing
  is that it only happens on some occations. I don't really know what the
  problem is, so I can't, unfortunately, post more information.
