I just compiled and installed Garnome 2.0 final. I was excited to see the
new panel which works great! I only have one problem, I like a CDE style
panel. In the old 1.4 panel you were able to choose panel > properties >
type > edge aligned panel and the panel automaticly centered itself. In the
new gnome-panel I no longer have the panel > properties > type > edge
aligned panel option. In it's place I can choose how may degrees offcenter
I want gnome-panel which can give the look I had with 1.4. 

But, after adding a new launcher to the panel it becomes offcenter again
and I have to recenter after every launcher or applet is added.

I talked to people at #gnome and they said that the only time a new feature
will be added to gnome 2.0 is when that feature cannot be acomplished in
any other way. I reguard to my bug I do believe it qualifies as a new
feature even though you can accomplish the same affect centering
gnome-panel by degrees. Here is why... 

It can become extremely annoying having to recenter the panel after every
launcher or applet is added.

If you need more info email me.
