Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

It comes up the minute I load anything and it's at the top of the screen, can't close it, can't move it... notihing. I run dual screens and it's on the main screen; It renders the screen totally unusable. Won't go away and I can't close it. Been doing this for quite a while now; was hoping it would be takin care of before release....

Are you sure this is gok and not the matchbox keyboard? Have you installed matchbox or any ubuntu-mobile packages (uninstalling those will make this go away). Even so, let's keep this bug open and assign it to the mobile team.

Outstanding call! Don't know when, how, why or where, but Matchbox was
definitely installed. And yes, when I uninstalled all the associated
packages, the on screen keyboard went away.

I had looked at the various on screen keyboard packages and had
carefully checked the System Monitor and couldn't find any of them.
This must be why.

However yall want to handle it, my problem has been solved. I still
don't understand why it buried itself at the top of the screen, such
that you couldn't get to the 'X' to close it, in Gnome. In KDE you
could get to it.

Thank you,

Bill
