Hi all,

i've installed the 8.10 release today and noticed this bug is still present. I've written a little shell-script that automates all the steps outlined by paskma (thanks for the patches by the way) and fiddles with the version numbers so that patch will not complain about it.

Things to note:
- use at your own risk (as with everything)
- it has been tested with a fresh Interpid Ibex installation (gnome-panel and libwnck versions: 2.24.1) and most probably also works with previous versions down to 2.22.0, 2.22.1 respectively.
- may also work in future releases
- Synaptic will want to update to the broken ones again afterwards, iirc.
- It doesn't update the Changelogs anymore, since their patches didn't work even with the modifications, and i'm too lazy to dig into the patch syntax.

So here it is: http://dominiklang.ch/gnome-panel-fix

Save the file in the directory of your choice, make it executable (if you don't know how, you'll find a way in the file's settigns) and run it with root privileges ($ sudo gnome-panel-fix).
