Hi Irene,

I took a liberty of putting a picture here:

http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/i1520

If I understand your problem correctly this should help.

If you right click on the bin you will see 'move' as an option click on
it and drag the bin to your left a little just by moving the mouse to
the left.
The icon that I have pointed to in the picture can then be dragged even
further to the left on the screen. Now when you have it all the way you
want it you can right click on the icon and choose Lock to Panel this
will allow you to have what you may consider normal behaviour.

If you can't actually move and icon after right clicking then maybe you
need to remove the 'Lock to Panel' tick and then try to move it again.

Consider the benefits of locking all items you put on a panel. Such as
the trash can and the workspace switcher.


Hope that helps. Let us know how you get on.
