Bug Description

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/418 sounds like the one I'm describing but I don't know if it's the same.

I think it's trivial to reproduce because it happens to me all the time. Sometimes the minimized windows in the window list will take the whole panel while other times they are shrunk to take up a small portion of it. This behaviour seems random to me.

 libwnck (2.19.5-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream version:
     Features
     - Install wnckprop utility
     - Add tooltips for workspaces in the pager
     - New wnck_screen_get_workspaces() API
     - New wnck_workspace_get_layout_row(), wnck_workspace_get_layout_column()
       and wnck_workspace_get_neighbor() API, to get layout information about a
       workspace (Vincent)
     - New wnck_workspace_get_screen() API
     - New wnck_window_is_below(), wnck_window_make_below() and
       wnck_window_unmake_below() API
     Deprecations
     - Deprecate wnck_screen_get_workspace_index(). wnck_workspace_get_number()
       should be used
     - Deprecate wnck_screen_calc_workspace_layout(),
       wnck_screen_free_workspace_layout() and WnckWorkspaceLayout
     - Deprecate wnck_screen_get_workspace_neighbor().
       wnck_workspace_get_neighbor() should be used
     - Deprecate wnck_tasklist_set_minimum_width(),
       wnck_tasklist_get_minimum_width(), wnck_tasklist_set_minimum_height(),
       wnck_tasklist_get_minimum_height(). They are useless with the new sizing
       algorithm
     Fixes
     - Improve a bit drawing of the pager
     - Fix logic when cleaning up after dragging a window from the pager
     - Use the last allocation of the tasklist as a basis for the fake allocation
       used to compute the size hints. This gives better results.
     - Rationalize the using of icon names/names in the tasklist and the pager
     - Do not put state indicators in the tooltip text of tasklist buttons
     - Fix compilation of wnckprop
     - Import minor fixes from the XFCE fork (small leak, and safety checks)
     - Code cleanups
     - Use g_type_class_add_private() everywhere
     - Use GSlice when it makes sense
     - Probable fix to show windows needing attention not shown in the viewport
     - Make wnckprop able to change properties of windows and screens
     - Make wnckprop translatable
     - Redraw a workspace in the pager when the state of a window changes and is
       relevant
     - Stop the glowing effect in the tasklist for urgent windows after a while
       (LP: #28757)
     - Add new fade-max-loops to control the number of loops before the glowing
       effect stops. Makes it possible to nearly disable the effect.
     - Don't draw dots for group buttons in the tasklist, but use gtk_paint_tab()
     - Make the glowing effect in the tasklist use cairo. This also makes it work
       with RGBA.
     - Makes it possible to drag a window from a grouped task menu of the tasklist
     - Never group together in the tasklist windows without a class
     - Add new mode to wnckprop to interact with a workspace
     - Add new modes to wnckprop to interact with a class group or an application
     - Improve wnckprop command line arguments
     - Add some XSync calls where needed in libwnck for wnckprop to work
     - Make wnckprop use the real X server timestamp when needed
     - Fix size of buttons in tasklist changing with the text. This should be an
       important usability improvement.
     - Fix image of tasklist buttons floating outside of the bu...
