So does the status being a confirmed fix release mean that eventually the fix will get pushed out in an update at some point in the future?

Status in Desktop panel for GNOME: Confirmed
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid
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.
