bug report in xfce4

Hi Jasper,

I've seen some quite annoying bug in xfce4 panel.

I customized the panel to put the desktop switcher to the right end. I
have 10 controls + the desktop switcher. The preference panel tells me I
have 10 controls (see attached panel-step1.png). Fine.

I have 5 icons on the left, the desktop switcher and 5 more icons on the
right.

I move the desktop switcher to position 10 and the panel shows the
desktop switcher to the left end (see attached panel-step2.png). Fine.

The clock is on the right end. Then I decide that the clock should be to
the left end, so I right click on the clock and increase the position to
its max value, and it says 11 this time. The clock doesn't move to the
left end, but rather the icon that was just before the right panel (see
attached panel-step3.png).

So I click on the setup to move the switcher to the left end; the max
value is now 11. To get what I want I left click on the clock and move
it to the left end. Fine, I finally get what I want. (see attached
panel-step4.png)

Unfortunately, if I quite, xfce4 cores at next startup... See config
file attached.

Cheers,
--
