Oh, I forgot the part where this is also a thread on launchpad o_0
It's so convenient to have it in your inbox ... Almost regret putting
it in now ;o) I'll look like a prat for the coming generations. Well
it's a burden I'll have to bear...

On another note I have this problem on my laptop to. Not exactly the
some, since it's only got one screen, but it's definitely a
positioning bug. So the setup there is a ATI graphics card (vs Nvidia
on my stationary) I run the open source ATI drivers (radeon or
radeonhd, don't remember right now) and have Ubuntu 10.10 almost bare
install (just a few weeks old). Docky is in panel mode along the
bottom and I have a small gnome-panel at the top right for
indicators/sys tray (just like on my stationary). The menu have a
tendency to pop up center, center on the screen though it happens less
frequently on the laptop than the stationary, about 50% of the time
(vs about 95% failure rate on my stationary ;o).

I could run the debug version there as well and post the logs if it will help?
