Bug#289980: gnome-panel: Panel hides and loses information after
resizing screen with 'xrandr'

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.8.2-1
Severity: normal
If the panel is full, and the screen is resized to a lower resolution with 'xrandr'
or the 'grandr' applet, some of the rightmost panel items are made unavailable.
If the screen is then restored to its previous higher resolution, the panel may
not be the same as it was before resizing.
Some ideas as to solutions, so that all buttons and applets would stay available
at all resolutions:
1) the panels be made scrollable if everything won't fit
2) panels should add a temporary new drawer on the end,
full of any stuff that won't fit, as needed.
NB, this bug is a spin off from (and a cause of):
#289114: gnome-randr-applet: for crowded button bars applet needs to be on far left
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=289114
Hope this helps...
