Description Christian Marillat 2002-06-07 07:21:21 UTC 
Hi,

today I missed while clicking and accidently removed a drawer full of
stuff, including several sub-drawers.  It would be nice to have a
dialog, "Are you sure you want to remove this drawer?"

same problem for applets: bug #95007.

Mark:

Deleting the drawer has an inconsistency.
You could delete the drawer in 2 ways.
1)Right click on the panel and do a "Delete this panel"
2)Right click on the drawer button and "Remove from panel"

In the first case you get a confirmation dialog because that's linked
with the generic panel code but not in the case of second one because
that's on the drawer button . Also just being off the topic here, the
drawer's gconf is not cleaned up when you delete it from "Remove from
panel" since it is not following the "Delete panel" code path.

Fixed in HEAD and gnome-2-2 branch.
