[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#791653: [lxpanel] Cannot interact properly with mwm window manager on the left or right sides

[opt1k]

Package: lxpanel
Version: 0.8.1-1
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Improper interactions with mwm window manager and probably others. I 
cannot attach lxpanel to the right or the left side.
It continuously resizes and will not maintain a position when 
restarted.  lxpanel is unusuable unless its locked at the top or the 
bottom of the screen.

Description: LXDE panel
  LXPanel is a GUI application for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment
  (LXDE).
  .
  It is derived from fbpanel and includes the following features:
  .
   * User-friendly application menu automatically generated from .desktop
     files on the system
   * Launcher bar (small icons clicked to launch apps)
   * Task bar supporting ICCCM/EWMH `urgency' hint (Pidgin IM windows
     can flash on new incoming messages)
   * Run dialog (type a command to run, without opening a terminal)
   * Net status icon plug-in (optional).
   * Volume control plug-in (optional).
   * Notification area (system tray).
   * Digital clock.
   * Keyboard LEDs plug-in (display caps/num locks).
   * lxpanelctl: control lxpanel from other programs.
     For example, "lxpanelctl run" will show the Run dialog in lxpanel,
     and "lxpanelctl menu" will show the application menu. This is
     useful in combination with window manager key bindings.
