Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2006-06-20 03:28:01 UTC 
the panel has this neat feature that if you reconfigure X to have a second screen on your display it will create a new set of default panels on that display.  ok.  neat.

i then erased these panels because i didn't want them.  ok.  nice.

close panel, restart panel.  the default panels are created again even though i explicitly deleted them.

this is done by panel_profile_ensure_toplevel_per_screen.  it iterates over all screens returned by gdk_display_get_screen and if it finds a screen that has 0 panels on it it creates the default ones (with no check that this is what the user actually wants).

As of 2.22, I can't reproduce this bug (at least with xinerama activated). Is it still valid?
Comment 2 Federico Mena Quintero 2009-02-27 01:06:30 UTC 
Desrt, were you talking about multiple X screens, or Xinerama?
Comment 3 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2009-02-27 05:26:29 UTC 
X screens (ie: GdkScreen as mentioned in the initial report).

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
