setting gnome-panel position when not expanded is wrong

[Vladimir Hidalgo]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

If you don't have the panel expanded, and you try to set the position to Top, Bottom, Left or Right, the panel will be positioned at random.

Currently you have to expand the panel first, then set the position, then uncheck the expand feature to get the correct panel position.

thank you for your bug report, what ubuntu version do you use?

[Vladimir Hidalgo (vlad88sv)]

Oh excuse me, I forgot to include that info.

Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, updated today, but I found this bug in Hardy.

:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-panel

the issue is likely an upstream one, could you open it on bugzilla.gnome.org?
