Please describe the problem:
I'm using XRANDR a lot lately to resize my monitors - in fact every time I login now b/c X won't remember not to activate my LVDS output. I can deal with that issue, but the main problem I'm having with this is that gnome-panel isn't properly remembering the order of my applets when it resizes itself.

The problem seems to be related to the position and panel_right_stick gconf values: I have some applets that I *want* to be stuck right, but there doesn't seem to be a UI to do it. To make things more difficult, there's actually no UI elements I can find to set that bit, aside from gconf-editor.

My suggestion is that on panel resize, figure out the exact order of the appelts on a panel *before* the resolution change, and ensure that the same order is there after. This would hopefully resolve the issue of that stick-right group.

The bits of info you need for this are when xrandr resize events occur, and the resolution of the display before and after. Is that info available to the panel?

Note that this seems related to bug 341441.
