My Xfce4-panel wont let me 'move' panel plugins...

I can right-click on them, select 'move' and drag the little hand around, but the whole panel is greyed and no matter where I click, the move is unsuccessful and the plugin just goes to its original position.

I've tried deleting stuff in .config/xfce4/panel and .cache, so that the panel starts completely default, but it has the same issue.

Any ideas?

I have had this problem too. But have yet to find a solution. I did read somewhere that it might be a gtk2 bug. I'm not sure though.

Mine wouldn't move the way they are supposed to either, so for each item that I wanted to move, I renamed their config files in the order that I wanted them to be.  Look for those files in the xfce4 panel folder found in ~/.config directory.  Logging out and back in should put them in the correct location.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for the tip on moving those around. Indeed it is a bug in gtk2.22 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634765  . Here is the xfce bug report also on this http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6818  .
