Description David 2011-10-08 01:35:25 UTC 
Description of problem:I have Dual Monitors and when I open the panels
Properties dialog box it disappears when the Background tab is selected.
This does not happen on the primary monitor.
Comment 1 Vincent Untz 2011-10-10 11:13:57 UTC 
Can you clarify what disappears? Just the dialog? Or the whole panel?
Comment 2 David 2011-10-10 20:09:13 UTC 
Sorry about that but just the dialogue disappears

I don't have access to a more recent gnome version which is running on a duel monitor setup similar to mine.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
