Comment 6 for bug 36189

The bug is still there in Gusty with Gnome 2.20.0

It is even more serious as with xrandr, gnome-panel will adjust its size to the smallest output resolution.
When coming back to normal resolution, applets are arranged in a apparent random order...

Howto reproduce :
- on a laptop, resolution is 1200x800
- place applets and lock them on the top panel
- plug in a video-projector (say it supports 1024x800)
- type 'xrandr --output VGA --auto' in a terminal
- the video-projector will display desktop : great !!
- the integrated LCD display remain in 1200x800. Cool.
- gnome-panel will adjust its size to fit the 1024x800 VGA display. Really cool.
- sell your stuff to the audiance :)
- unplug the projector and type 'xrandr --output VGA --off'
- gnome-panel goes back to its original size... really nice
- BUT : applets are all mixed up :(
