Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome
When in Gnome you move the bottom panel the top of the screen the order of the panel (from to to bottom) is first the panel with the start menu, then the panel with the windows list. However, after a restart of Gnome the order switched around which is unwanted behavior. Could Gnome remember exactly how the panel order is?
When in Gnome you hide a panel via the hide buttons, the panel will be shown after a restart of Gnome which is unwanted behavior. Could Gnome remember exactly the hidden state of the panel?
Implementing these fixes will provide a more consistent behavior of Gnome following user expectancies.
Both bugs are for Gnome 2.18.1 on Feisty.

I've experienced this behavior many times before. Also, watch what happens if an application (especially games in wine) messes with the screen resolution - the order of panel items becomes a total mess. Confirmed.
