Hi John,
Ive personally seen some very strange behavior from the new panel.
Absolutely you should file a bug. But! first you should search to see if
the bug already exists.
bugzilla.gnome.org bugzilla.gnome.org

My thanks to you both. Your gconf-editor solution fixed my problem,
mostly. I think there may be a bug in the panel app, though.
I can set the window attribute to 1 if the panel is not expanded.
If I check the expanded attribute (either through gconf-editor
or in the panel properties dialog), the window attribute is reset
to 0, and the panel snaps back onto the primary monitor.
Do the appropriate people read this list, or should I open a bug
report on this behaviour?
Anyway, except for the expanded part, my panel is back where it
belongs, tucked over there on the right, out of the way.
Thank you gentlemen for your prompt and helpful suggestions.
Regards,
John

My bad. I think we run Gnome 2.2 de Redhat at work. Try this instead:
run "gconf-editor /apps/panel/profiles/default/toplevels"
That should open the gconf-editor with the location tree expanded to a
panels node under which there should be a child node for each panel on
your desktop (my child nodes are named panel_1 and panel_2). Under
each of those nodes I have a setting named "monitor". If you assigned
your panel a name in the panel properties dialog you can identify your
panel node by inspecting the name setting. Find your panel node then try
changing the "monitor" setting to 1.
I the above locations are not *exactly* right, they should still put you
in the right area.
Have fun.

Hmm. I wonder why I have no such setting in my panel. I queried
the /usr/bin/gnome-panel binary and it reports that it is
version 2.4.2.
In the general properties tab, there is a name, orientation
and size selector, and checkboxes for expand, autohide, hide
buttons and the arrows.
In the Background tab, there are the normal stuff youd
expect to turn on the background, set the color or choose
a background image.
Unfortunately, thats all there is.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Regards,
John

Hi John,
...my right-side panel now appears on
the right side of my primary screen, rather than all the way to
the right...
I believe if you open the properties dialog for the panel youre
trying to move, you should see a monitor id setting. Its probably
set to "0", set it to "1".
