Comment 26 for bug 44082

When I reported this problem, I was using rel 5.xx, and I had upgraded
from earlier releases. All the icons moved including the ones that had:
'Lock to Panel' option. Also I had made many changes to my system on my
own. So, to make this story short, in my case I resolved this problem by
installing Ubuntu in a clean and empty hard disk. All those problems
went away.

I am using Ubuntu 7.10 now, and I see the icons changing places only
sometimes when I change screen resolutions or when I enable or disable
Compiz.

I will pay attention to the suggestions below next time it happens.

apparently randomly on session start in some situations

Do you mean posision as the posision specified in gconf? Because that
would be interesting. There is a configuration option for panel applets,
called panel_right_stick. It seems that all of thiese problems are
related to applets on the far right of the screen. Has anyone tried to
move the panels a couple of pixels away from the edge and other applets
and made sure panel_right_stick isn't enabled? It's just a wild guess,
but could be worth a try.

Is it always the clock that's being pushed to the left? It's the applet
that takes the longest time to load here.. Might that have anything to
do with it?
