Description Matt Davey 2011-03-13 00:08:03 UTC 
I'm using Frederic Crozat's gtk3 virtualbox image: 

When I updated to 2.91.91, I found I was unable to edit the panel.  After a certain amount of googling I found the recent change to require use of 'alt' when right-clicking on the panel to access the menu (no comment on that usability change...).

However, even using 'alt' I was unable to access the panel menu.  I haven't got the time to debug this, so I just reverted part of the recent change to panel.c/panel_button_press_event to remove the modifier check, and it worked fine.

I'm not sure why 'alt' isn't working for me.  I haven't noticed anything else odd.
