I've bamboozled my wife into using Linux (told her she'd have

Now, the panel has gone flaky for no reason I can think of.
When she logs in, many times it's just not there, and she cannot
operate without it.  I've tried a variety of things to bring it
back, but the thing that works best is simply to log out,
log in as ANOTHER user, open an xterm and exit, then log out
and go back in as herself.  Go figure.

The other user has a working panel.  Always, at least so far.
It's not clear why one has to open a window, but that does
seem part of the magic.

Does anyone have a clue, or a less painful way to deal with
this (like a permanent solution, maybe?).
Don't use KDE? Seriously, there are far more stable window managers out there, such as XFCE.
