GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 309564
Panel's X coordinate won't accept negative values
Last modified: 2005-07-10 21:53:39 UTC
I have a gnome panel on the top of my screen that I would like to rest against the right edge of the screen and grow to the left. Other information: My resolution is set at 1152x864 and if I give the panel an X coordinate of 1152 (from inside the configuration editor) it is immediately readjusted to be 1152 - current_panel_width. Then if the panel grows it is adjusted downward (to the left) to fit on the screen. If the panel then shrinks it keeps the same X coordinate eventually ending up against the left edge of the screen. There is a separate key to keep the panel centered. It would be nice if the panel would stay on the right either by adding a three-way key (justified) for left, centered, or right to justify it or enabling the X coordinate to be a negative value meaning pixels from the right edge of the screen. (A negative zero would need to be a valid value in that case).
is that a floating panel? You can move it with a middle click.
Yes you can move it to the right. But the panel contains a task list and moving to a desktop with more windows makes it grow and then moving back to a desktop with less windows makes it shrink and at that point it is no longer on the right side of the top border. I tried to move it prior to using G-conf but could not find a way to make it stay on the right side of the top border. And the middle-click-drag is out too.
thanks for your comment, that seems to be the same issue than #138337 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 138337 ***
which is a duplicate of #107622 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 107622 ***
