Bug Description
1. Install Gutsy RC with Alternative CD
2. Install GNOME
3. Login as new user
4. Problems:
a) GNOME panels are set to width in 1024 pixels
b) System => Preferences => Screen Resolution also shows width 1024 pixels
c) Actual screen resolution is 1280x768 (which is also monitor's resolution)
So panels are smaller that actual screen resolution and Screen Resolution app also lies about it.
this is snippet from lspci concerning graphics chipset:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

I see this on my Intel 945GM hardware, but only when I've got an external monitor plugged in with a smaller resolution than the inbuilt display. It means when projecting on a display, you can use the panels. The Screen resolution applet shows the resolutions for the projector / monitor rather than the inbuilt panel.
