Description Havoc Pennington 2002-09-25 21:28:44 UTC 
In metacity, if a window moves due to a new or repositioned panel shoving
it around, and then you remove the panel, the window goes back to where it
was before. i.e. moving the panel is not a destructive operation.

Here is a request that applets work similarly:
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72858

This is perhaps the same feature that would keep resizing the panel
larger/smaller from permanently moving launchers.

Yeah, that's reasonable - but the PanelWidget code is such that this
would actually be a big job IMHO.

Hmm, I fixed this one ages ago :-)
