Panel issues

Hey, there are several panel issues that I have not found a solution for
yet, or even a cause ... Any ideas would be welcome.
- autohide to wrong side.
Sometimes when the panel autohides on the bottom or the right screen
edge, the size is reduced, but the window isn't moved to the edge.
I can reproduce this by changing orientation and then setting autohide
(initially it works fine). The problem here is that I set the
coordinates correctly, the window just doesn't get moved.
Might be an interaction with the window manager, but it happens with
metacity as well. Perhaps it's something with gtk.
- partial struts don't work with metacity
Very funny this. Metacity moves the panel away from the screen edge to
avoid its own struts ;-) Sounds like a metacity bug, not sure I should
care about it.
- some icon themes work, others don't
Basically, icon themes seem to work fine, but for me Wasp doesn't work,
someone else reported something similar. Other svg themes work fine, so
it must be something else. This should be in the gtk icon themeing code.
I'll probably have to add some debugging statements to gtk to find out
what is going on.
- dropping many (> 10) files on a launcher causes a crash
Well, actually, I haven't looked at this at all. Doesn't sound too
difficult. I'm probably copying strings to a statically allocated buffer
without proper bounds checking.
I'll be working on these issues, but progress will be slow.
