Bug Description

gnome-control-center 1:3.3.90-0ubuntu5, Ubuntu 12.04 beta

1. In System Settings, click "Brightness and Lock".

What you see:
* Of the six elements in the panel, only two of them line up with each other (and of those two, one shouldn't exist anyway).
* The whole panel is lopsided, with little empty space on the left but a large area of empty space on the right.

What you should see:
* Elements line up properly, like they do in other panels.
* Empty space distributed equally on the left and right.

Thanks Matthew, is that still an issue now that the slider is back? here the combos are aligned as they should and the titles as well

Yes, it seems that whenever the "Brightness" heading and slider is not present, the "Lock screen after:" menu moves to the right. Now that it's back, the two headings line up, and the two menus line up. So the panel is still quite bad (particularly its asymmetry), but not nearly as bad as I described here.
