If you have not done so do not install or update gnome-panel. On my system after updating to gnome-panel-2.22.2-3.fc9.i386 mouse clicks on the task bar no longer work the same as they did with the previous version. Left-clicking on Applications, Places, or System does not cause a drop-down menu to appear. Left-clicking on the Firefox icon does not launch the browser. Fortunately, gnome-panel-2.22.1.2.6-fc9 is still available on the updates repository. Reverting back to the older version restored the mouse actions back to their original behavior.

I'm sorry to tell you that gnome-panel-2.22.2-3.fc9.i386 is installed here and continues to work just fine.

Did you log out and log back in or restart your gnome desktop?

Indeed I did.... As a matter of fact, I rarely use gnome as I prefer KDE. So, I just logged out of my KDE session and when to gnome....no problems found.

Thanks for the feedback. It's the mouse driver update that is causing me the problem. I'm running F9 under VMWare Workstation. The xorg-drv-vmmouse package was also updated at the same time. I did a poor job of debugging the mouse driver which I initially suspected as the cause of the problem. I reverted from xorg-drv-vmmouse-12.6.1-1.fc9 to xorg-drv-vmmouse-12.5.0-1.fc9 and restarted gnome desktop but that didn't resolve the change to the mouse clicks. Reverting to the previous version of gnome-panel seemed to fix the problem. Upgrading xorg-drv-vmmouse to the latest brought the problem right back. Now, I have to go to bugzilla and ammend my report!

Funny you should mention vmware. My F9 is also running under vmware.
I have installed
xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse-12.6.1-1.fc9 xorg-x11-drv-mouse-1.3.0-2.fc9
installed.... And no problems.....
So, I guess I still am not sure where you think your problem is located.

Which version of VMWare Workstation are you running? I'm using 5.5.8 under Windows 2000.

The latest 6.5 on Linux.

That may explain the difference. I was planning to upgrade my Workstation when support ends. However, I may need to upgrade a bit sooner.
