Bug description
A fresh Cinnamon install.
- Logout/login: Menu and Window list change order so that Window list is at the left margin.
- It seems that applets can not be reordered by using the mouse (edit: it can - panel edit mode), so I remove Window list and add it again.
- Window list does reappear at the right of Menu this time, but also with the right alignment.
- So I use dconf to correct the alignment.
- Logout/login: back to point 1.
Steps to reproduce
As above.
Expected behavior
Applets do not change order after logout/login. The default alignment does not change from left to right.
Additional information
dconf shows now: 'panel1:right:1:window-list@cinnamon.org:31', 'panel1:right:0:window-list@cinnamon.org:32'

Research direction
Start by reproducing the logout/login sequence described in the issue on Ubuntu 24.04 with Cinnamon 6.0.4, including the applet removal and re-addition steps. Inspect how the panel persists applet order and alignment, using the reported dconf entries as the expected state to compare before and after logout/login.
