Comment 25 for bug 15442

Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty and have the same problem for as far as i remember using gnome :( (from dapper i think).
My settings is the two pannels at the top.

Until Jaunty it was not so problematic as i could drag and drop one panel to the bottom and to the top really easily at startup. But since Jaunty i just can't drag and drop panels any more (if someone know how to enable drag&drop again i'm interested in) and must right click and then click properties and then configure the pannel to bottom then to top and then close the window. This is just awfull to loose all that time at every gnome login.

But looking around i found first the script in that topic and then another at http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2683139 but none really work for me :(. So playing arround with gconf-eidtor i finally find a setting that seems to work for 2 weeks now on the 2 computers i use every day.

So in gconf-editor go to apps->panel ->general and find the corresponding entry for you in my case toplevel_id_list and reorder the panels in the list in the order you want them to appear in this case the first is at the edge of the screen.

If you don't know which id match one or another panel then you can go to ( alway sin gconf-editor ) apps->panel->toplevels there you will finds your panels and playing with the option enable_buttons for example may help you identify each of your panels.

Hope this will be a definitive solution, and that i will help others,
Best regards to all.
