Description Roman V. Nikolaev 2010-03-15 10:16:45 UTC
I run games frequently (native and windows games by Wine). More of them change screen resolution and then run. When resolution changes all applets on panel move and shuffle. It`s very bad.

I think panel need to save all applet position (from left in pixels) when user place applet on panel. If screen resolution changed and screen width too small then applets shift from rigth to the left. When screen resolution restored then applets restore they positions.

Example:

[] - panel
A{X} - applet

Screen 1024x800:
[A1 A2 A3                   A4     A5 A6]

Screen 800x600:
[A1 A2 A3           A4 A5 A6]

Screen 640x480:

[A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6]

Restore screen 1024x800:
[A1 A2 A3                   A4     A5 A6]

Now if I restore resolution I get:
[A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6                      ]
