When switching between different Alternative widgets on the Desktop, the newly created applet is often positioned and/or sized differently from the original applet. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Place Kickoff on Desktop 2. Right click, choose "Alternatives" 3. Choose Kicker Actual Results: You end up with a huge widget Expected Results: The position of the new applet is the same as with the old one This can also be reproduced with the various clocks. If size contraints prevent the applet from having the same size, it should at least be centered around the previous applet's position.
