open applications do not use aviable space in gnome-pannel

[Sascha Grossenbacher]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

The application "tabs" do not use the full space aviable in the bottom gnome-pannel, as shown in this image: http://web6.radon.caraweb.ch/bilder/panel.png

The problem occured first after a dist-upgrade from edgy to feisty.

If I go to the Properties of the panel and change the Option "Ausdehnung" (first of the 3 checkboxes, no idea how it is called in english), the full space ise used but full panel gets move- and resizeable and is also smaller when there are not enough applications open.

Thanks for your bug report. Does that work with a new user? What are the values in the 'size' tab of the properties of the window list?

[Sascha Grossenbacher (berdir)]

A new user does not have this problem.

size (same for my user and a new one):

min: 50
max 4096

If I change the min size to 1100, the full space is used, but of course also when only one application is open. This is better, but not how it should be :)

Update:

The problem seems to be gone...

I played around a bit with the size values and did a reboot after that. After that, i saw a red X between "application tabs" and the desktop switcher. It was an without name or symbol but with type Application. I removed it then from the panel and the full space is now used again.

I have no idea if I did something wrong or the panel-itself.. perhabs a bit of both :)
