Comment 50 for bug 44082

I have a similar problem to greyor. I have a laptop with a screen resolution of 1280x768, and sometimes use an external monitor with a resolution of 1280x1024. Recently I had to rebuild the top gnome panel (using the laptop resolution) and then locked most off the icons to the panel. I then shutdown the laptop connected the external monitor and booted up again. By default both screens are in use, but the external monitor is not being used at its optimum resolution, so I tend to change it to 1280x1024 and this causes the laptop display to switch off. ( I am ok with this). However I then find that the gnome display get a bit muddled, in particular the icons on the top panel (RHS) ie logout, screen lock, volume control, calender, cpu speed, system monitor, network monitor, randomly change position, when they have been locked to the panel. I have also notice this behaviour on the lower panel as well.

Strangely it only seems to affect icons / applets on the right had side of the panel.
