View Full Version : [gnome] Top panel icons dissapear behind the right edge of screen

Ubuntu 10.04 Gnome:
I have about 5 PCs at home, and all of them have this problem.

The default ubuntu install places top panel icons in the following order:

---------------------
.... john_doe, power |
---------------------

The power button completely scrolls off the edge, and half of the user-id scrolls off as well, to look like this:

---------------------
..................... john_|
---------------------

I suspect this is a very common problem. How do I combat it?

I know this is silly, but annoys the hell out of me, not to mention that "normal people" cannot turn off the computer after the turn off button disappears.

try changing to a higher screen resolution...or maybe just right-click on the panel, and iether go to "properties" and see what you can do there or choose "add to panel" and add the power icon, and then drag it to wherever you like.
hope this helps...
