Description Andrew Conkling 2006-02-08 15:23:54 UTC 
By default, some of my icons show up partially off-screen because they are "too
far" to the left.  I can move each one, but this will happen again when the next
icon shows up on the desktop.  Since that time, I've also opted to create a new
gnome-panel on the left side of the screen, and now the icons are also created
beneath that.  I do have the "Keep Aligned" option checked.

It seems that the grid for icons should be calculated to ensure that icons and
their labels always appear on-screen.  For what it's worth, I'm running a
widescreen monitor at 1680x1050.  Let me know if I can provide more information.

We've seen some problems with panel struts and widescreen displays like yours.  For example, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=310208

I'm able to reproduce it using Xorg 7.2 + new intel driver (Using Ubuntu Gutsy).

For instance, my LCD that supports 1280x1024 and the main one, LVDS, supports 1280x800.

If I change the resolution of LCD to 1024x768 using xrandr, the LCD screen gets resized, but the LVDS gets resized only the gnome-panel to fit in 1024x768, which is smaller than the screen. The window manager still uses 1280x800 in that screen, like the screenshot attached in Novell's bugzilla.
