I mostly agree with your opinion, but this is on my desktop at work, so I am 
somewhat reluctant to upgrade. Stability and limited time to experiment is the 
main focus here, this make me stick to the official OpenSUSE repositories. At 
home I am running leading edge with all bells and whistle :-)

My question was mainly triggered by the fact that my clock and cpu load 
normally resides in the right hand corner of my screen.

Got it!

So as I understand your answer, the icons on the bottom panel has always been 
left adjusted - but a now forgotten spacer, task-switcher or other widget was 
pushing my clock out to the right. That is absolutely understandable and I was 
simply searching the for the wrong solution.

Thanks again.
