Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.24.3-1+b1
Severity: important
I am totally frustrated because gnome-panel do not obey me. It just
frets and fumes like a brat.
It is not at all possible to create panels to more than two places: To top
and to left. If I go to settings of some vertical panel and try to make
it so that it goes to right side of the desktop, that settings goes back
to left. Correspondingly, if I go to settings of horizontal panel and
try set it so that it goes to bottom of my screen, that settings just
goes back "top".
Well, I tried to remove all panels. I even deleted all my directories
whose name starts ".gnome" and logged in to new gnome-session. Panels
still have old settings. If there is some way to completely wipe out all
settings of panels, I'd like to know about it. I tried to find something
from directories .gconf and .config and in vain.
I just removed other panels but the last refused to go away. Therefore I
created a new one and after I was able to remove that old panel. I added
some applets to new panel and after that it looked like this:

After first logout I logged back in and it looked like this:

I tweaked it so that it is not spread from lefti side to right side:

Then I logged out and then back. It looked like this:

Whaaasaat! Once again it is in the top of desktop!
