Top panel disorder after Intrepid upgrade

[Thomas Novin]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

After upgrading to Intrepid my freshly-created account got a very strange order in the top panel after the first logout / re-login.

Everything got mirrored. I'm attaching a screenshot.

The only changes I had made was to add some applets and de-select the expand option.

$ apt-cache policy gnome-panel
