Yeah but awn I noted doesn't always work with some applications. Like I have a windows app installed under wine and the shortcut I place on my desktop won't work in awn. It does that thing where the icon will move telling you the pc is doing something and then everything stops (the pc wants you to forget you clicked on the icon)

Only way it works is either on the desktop, from the menu, or from the panel.

Status in Desktop panel for GNOME: Fix Released

Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged
Status in “gnome-panel” source package in Hardy: Triaged

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.
