Comment 33 for bug 36189

@Sandro:
I agree with Aidan. It's not only when adding applets. However, I just now only managed to break things when switching to lower resolution, log off, log in, switching to higher resolution. Without the log off, log in, I tried to restart the panel between, before and after switching resolutions, but nothing broke. It did, however, after log off, log in. I don't know why. Maybe the problem is not even in the gnome-panel code directly.

It would be really, really nice to get a list of which code touches the gconf settings, and when.

@Aidan: Thanks! I agree with both your points.
