[Bug 48289] Gnome desktop screen is offset to the right by 1/2 Icon

[Martins]

Public bug reported:

After logging in the ntire desktop screen is at the right resolution but
offset to the right by about half an Icon.There is a dark stripe along
the left and the trash can is half way off to the right.

When you change the resolution to another supported value, say, 800X600
and then choose the "use previous resolution" button. the screen comes
back properly centered with everything visible. Sometimes the screen
corrects itself when  comimg back on after the screen saver.

This behaviour happens in Suse 10.0 and 10.1 also.

The resolution I'm using is 1280 X1024 
I have an HP Pavilion760n with an ATI radeon all-in-wonder 7500 and Princeton VL1916 LCD
monitor running on the DVI connector

I haven't tried the 3d acceleration or the tv functionality yet.

My Laptop, an Averatec 6110 with a resolution of 1280 X 800 doesn't do
this. I did an online upgrade from Breezy to Dapper on that machine that
went flawlessly.
