clock panel applet appears off-screen [maverick beta]

[Nycticorax]

[Maverick beta] When I click on the clock panel applet, it appears off the screen to the top (only the lower portion visible). Anyone else seeing poor positioning of this date/time/location window?

Yes. For a discussion and work-around, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/614650.

If you want to use the "Place Windows" plugin (one of the work-arounds), install the CompizConfig Settings Manager.

If you want to switch to metacity (another work around), select System->Preferences->Appearance, then on the Visual Effects tab, select None. Then, select Applications->System Tools->Configuration Editor, and navigate to Apps->Metacity->General, and check the "compositing_manager" box. Then log out and then log back in.
