Everything else is stuck, even though unlocked works for the window list and the notification area but not for the other applets stuff like bright applet cant be moved, but xkill can. $ apt-cache policy gnome-panel gnome-panel: Installed: 1:2.26.3-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:2.26.3-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:2.26.3-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:2.26.3-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt karmic/main Packages ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Jul 13 22:54:31 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: gnome-panel 1:2.26.3-0ubuntu2 ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-2.17-generic SourcePackage: gnome-panel Uname: Linux 2.6.31-2-generic x86_64 Steps to reproduce: 1. unlock an applet 2. mouse middle click and drag it Actual results: many of the applets wont be draggble this way and need to use the Move menu Expected results: drag any applet Does this happen every time? yes Other information:

Comment on attachment 141642 [details] [review] Fixes "middle button move" problem with some applets (bonobo?) As discussed on irc, my guess is that this stopped working because of client side windows in GTK+ 2.17. The patch itself is probably wrong, since it's reverting the logic for a workaround (see the comment in the code).
