Panel stickiness

[Simon Huggins]

A number of Debian users are a bit concerned that they can no longer put
the panel wherever they like.

See this bug for information:
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496

Why is the panel no longer freely movable?

I must admit I hadn't noticed as I always keep mine at the bottom but I
can't see an advantage to users to force them to always have it in one
place.

What drove this decision?

You can see some of the bugs Debian users have filed at:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=315694
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=315663
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=315053

Some of these can be satisfied by the taskbar plugin but I wonder what
made you set the panel to only sit on an edge.

Simon.
