Every time I resize my screen (which is often, given that I've got a laptop and differently sized screens at home and at work), Gnome shuffles the layout of the items on my panel. Here's what it normally looks like:
And here's what it might look like after having resized my screen:
The shuffling order appears to be random, which is quite frustrating if you've been listening to music on your headphones, and then hook your laptop up to the sound system and it starts playing music at a volume of fifteen million decibels and your muscle memory is all confused because where there used to be a volume control on the panel there is now a network manager thingy.
I've tried all possible combinations of widget placement and 'Lock to panel' toggles, all to no avail. It keeps randomly shuffling shit. The worst thing is that this has been a problem since I first started using Gnome on a laptop – umpteenthousand years ago.
