i had the same feelings until today! i decided to try dragging the sidebar panel from the left to the bottom and to my surprise it actually moved!

Wow, amazing! Moves on mine too... although there are a few graphical glitches and as usual a few on the menus cut off.

Still, a great find. Thanks!

i don't want to make it public because i want to avoid a fork of the plugin.

Was there really any point to another one?

That said, the idea of the icon and the fact you have submitted sounds good

Which version of OS2008 are you using? 2007.50-2 or 2007.51-3?

I know that the position and size of the sidebar panel and the other hildon desktop elements can be changed via /etc/hildon-desktop/desktop.conf
But no drag&drop changes for me.

You first need to rotate the screen to the left or right. After that you should be able to click and drag it (you may need to click on the area below the home button). I'm running the latest OS2008 with the modified kernel.

It's hard to get hold of the task navigator panel when the screen is landscape, but you can find a few spots between applets and do it, once you know to try.

The key is to drag the panel itself, not an applet; much easier (as well as more useful) in portrait.

Thanks, now it's also working for me.

That sounds dire. Barring some sort of diagnostic mode that I am unaware of, I think you will have to re-flash the OS. You can download the OS images from maeomo.org and the flasher from the Nokia site.

If you have linux, just reflash original kernel.

Wow! tried 21 grabs. finally it moved.

How can icons be rearranged in there? I can'tt use program menu now, its off scrreen to right. If it could move left, and be smaller text, it mightt fit.

I triedd editing /etc/hildon-desktop and restarting. had no effect.
