Ok, if I well understand when you use gnome to "move" your edge
panel it is not placed correctly.
What I do: I right click on a panel and create an edge panel. Then I
right click on this edge panel and open the properties (gnome)
dialog. With this dialog I can place my edge panel at 12 different
positions on the screen (top-left, middle-left, bottom-left,
left-bottom, middle-bottom, ...etc.). When I try all these positions
the edge panel does not interfere with the menu panel (and my bottom
panel). I use gnome-2.0.
If I well understand, when you do the same operation your edge
panel interfere with your menu panel when you place at the different
"top" positions (5 possibilities). Can you confirm this? What
version of gnome do you use?
If this is the case this is a gnome-panel bug. fvwm respects the
position the gnome-panel ask for.
However, what may happen is that your version of GNOME use a new
method to move resize a window (via _NET hints) which is not yet
implemented in fvwm and that the replacement method used by the
gnome panel when a window manager does not support this method
is broken.
We will implement this method soon and I will ask you to test
it when a snapshot will contain the "fix".
Thanks, Olivier
