Binary package hint: gnome-panel

When adding new panels to the gome desktop they do not appear until I either add a launcher or applet to one of the showing panels or drag an existing icon to another position on the panel.

After i have added two more panels so there is one on each side of the screen the fifth appears over the top of the main panel, clicking on the very top of the screen will bring the hidden bar to the front of the one that just appeared over it.
The now hidden panel will move down after i use the method above.

If i have a program / window open when i add the panels a space appears where the bar should be but the actual bar will not show until i do the method above.

If I right click on the space where the gap has appeared before the panel is visible I get the desktop menu not the panel menu.

If I activate the Autohide option on a panel positioned next to another panel, the panel will move over the top of the other panel when it attempts to hide itself. Clicking on a small area still showing of the now hidden panel will bring it back to the front.
