Package: gnome-panel
Severity: normal
Version: 2.0.0 Ximian Gnome Snapshot
Synopsis: Floating Panel Applet Positions Lost Over Sessions
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel
Bugzilla-Component: Panel

Description:
Description of Problem:

Adding applets to a floating panel and setting their positions in the
panel does not result in their positions being remembered across login
sessions.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.  Create a floating panel (I used vertical orientation, default
settings)
2. Add googly eyes and fish and stuff.
3. Add logout  button near the top of the panel.
4. Move the logout button to the end of the panel.
5. Logout using the button, and select 'Save current setup'
6. Log back in to see the floating panel once more.

Actual Results:

Logout button does not appear where you positioned it.

Expected Results:

Logout button (and other panel applets) should be in previously set
positions.

How often does this happen?

Depends a bit on the order in which things are added to the floating
panel - but pretty much all the time.

Additional Information:

a) Is a problem with both vertical and horizontal floating panels.

b) Does _not_ seem to be a problem with normal edge panels - I tested
those, and they remember their positions (both horizontal and vertical
edge panels).
