Description Matthias Weiss 2009-10-27 10:25:01 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

It started somewhere in spring (maybe march, april) when I first notized that the icons got shuffled around. But I then thought with the next update it would go away.
It didn't but with KDE 4.3 the shuffling stopped.

Yesterday I changed the minimum and maximum size of the panel and tried to insert 1 start icon for inkscape (which failed for some unknown reason).

Today after login the icons got shuffled around again. To test something, I logged out logged in again and the icons where shuffled again.

I'd like to note that approx. only the right half of the panel icons get switched around.

See also the 2 attached screenshots.

sounds like that bug where one applet was doing something to it's size, which then caused problems in the panel.

So probably it's the fault of one of the applets in the panel. but which one...

I tried to find this evil applet but wasn't successful. But while removing applets I noticed that adjusting the minimum/maximum panel size had an impact.

I now found a solution with min and max size sliders on the same width, and the width is slightly less than all widgets/applets need so the right outer most applet ist truncated slightly. Now there is no more swapping of icons.

When I give the applets/widgets enough room (with the min width slider) the shuffling starts again.

Further, after login when the desktop is completely rendered, the panel takes some 5 seconds extra time until it is displayed. I suspect KDE is busily calculating something for the panel and because my 700MHz laptop isn't the fastest it takes so long.

The bugs that have been marked as duplicates contain all interesting information, like plasma configuration files etc.
