I've ported the patch from Gnome Bug 314235 forward to the latest jaunty version 2.26.0-ubuntu7 of gnome-panel. Attached is the patch file already in quilt format. I've also applied this patch and built gnome-panel to my PPA for testing. Brave souls can try the patched version of the panel and report back to me their experiences.

This is the first patch I've distributed, please be nice. I have been testing it on my work and home laptops and neither of them have caught fire. It also seems to help prevent the (right-side) icons moving around on screen changes.

If you are going to test it, keep in mind, this keeps gnome-panel from changing the icon positions when the screen changes, but you may already have out-of-place positions for your panel applets in GConf. As Karl Hegbloom suggested, *if you know what you are doing* you can update the GConf settings manually to set the correct order.

If this tests well I'll start the process of getting this moved upstream (and into Ubuntu of course).
