I can confirm that this problem occurs on Fedora Core 1 with
gnome-panel-2.4.2-3.

Also known at fedora bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=112759

I can also reproduce this with gnome-panel-2.4.2-3 on FC 1. Clock
applet has moved totally to the left (left from the main menu)(using
bottom panel), RHN applet sits right of the main menu.

All three mentioned "applets" are locked as a result of this action.
Moving them to their appropriate place requires me to unlock all three
of them before I am able to proceed.

OK, I think I got the bug isolated in a short test scenario that can
be used for debugging.

1. Add new panel, appears at the top, expanded
2. Add clock and volume applets
3. Drag both applets to the right, volume left of clock
4. Set expand off, see volume still left of clock
5. killall gnome-panel
6. See that the applets switched places

Thanks, fixed now:

        Fix to make things load in the correct order on
        non-expanded panels. Bug #122513.
                                                                               
                                                               
        * applet.c:
        (panel_applet_load_idle_handler): if its a right stuck
        applet on a non-expanded panel, just load it at the
        end of the panel - we load them in the correct order.
        (panel_applet_compare): sort right stuck applets to
        the end.
