[Bug 40082] Changing panel orientation with Expand unchecked produces undesired results

[evilregis]

Public bug reported:

I was playing around with my default top panel after installation and
unchecked the Expand checkbox.  Then I changed the orientation to left.
The panel took a vertical form but centered horizontally on my desktop.

If I have the panel expanded and aligned left, uncheck Expand and set
the orientation to Top, then the panel takes a horizontal form but is
centered vertically on my desktop.

Checking Expand again will result in it being placed properly in its
expanded form.

I hope that the above makes sense.
