This bug will not be fixed. In theory, the problem is going to be corrected whenever gnome 3.0 is released, and will have a completely different architecture for panels etc.

Subject: [Bug 44082] Re: GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently
randomly on session start in some situations
sk8erbender: Thank you for the bug confirmation. However, Dylan McCall
put it succinctly in comment #202: "The source of this problem is really
close to the heart of the panel's design. It allows user-defined
positions for applets, and these are stored with absolute values (in
pixels). No amount of fiddling will change that that is a very poor,
inflexible design."
Unless a dev corrects me, this bug will not be fixed. It will only go
away when a replacement is enacted, or there is a complete redesign of
the fundamental panel code architecture and assumptions. In the
meantime, there are a number of workarounds in the discussion above, but
for now, this paper cut will continue to bleed.
Some workaround suggestions in the comments above:

Bug description:
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.
