I though I was imagining things but this just happened again in both the 32 and 64 bit versions. I have on my top Gnome panel:
Applications; Places; System; {firefox launcher} {gnome-commander launcher}
The two launchers are marked [X] Lock to panel.
I just installed an application called Beyond Compare. From the Applications menu I navigated to Programming; Beyond Compare and right clicked on the menu entry and selected "Add this launcher to panel". The launcher inserted itself BETWEEN the firefox and gnome-commander launchers.
It has been my experience with the Gnome panel in other distros that a new launcher added in this would will appear to the right of the gnome-commander launcher unless there is enough room between firefox and gnome-commander (which there is not in the case of these CentOS machines).
Am I missing something or is this a bug i need to report?
TIA,
Ken
p.s. Gnome version on CentOS 6 is 2.28.2
Gnome version on Ubuntu 10.04 is 2.30.2 (works as expected)
Gnome version on CentOS 5.6 is 2.16.0 (works as expected)

Re: Lock launcher to panel Not!
Well I guess I have to reply to myself :-D I have submitted a bug report on this issue [url=http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5012]5012[/url] for anyone who is interested.

That bug report is not likely to get any action. CentOS will not generally make a change to [url=http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General?highlight=%28TUV%29#head-d29a2b7e61ffc544973098f9dd49fe4663efba50]TUV[/url]'s approach. If you don't like the way things are done in EL6 then an upstream bug report is your only viable recourse.
