Comment 230 for bug 44082

While it's great that locking down the panel solves this annoying bug, i like to change my panel configuration from time to time and as i am lazy i like to do that from the panel itself. As i didn't found any panel applet for this job i wrote this little shell script, which i trigger through a regular panel launcher.

If you like to do that as well:
- download the script somewhere (at best in your home directory, as it's by default a hidden file)
- make sure it got execute permissions
- create a launcher in the panel and enter the location of the script as command (like /home/USER/.gnome2_panel_lock_down)
- install the "libnotify-bin" package OR disable notifications in the script with your favorite editor (like "NOTIFY=off")

Have fun. To me this solution is rather nice, also because the amount of people still caring about the old panel is quite shrinking and i don't think this will ever get fixed.
