[Bug 1765565] Re: xfpanel-switch is failing to save panel settings

[enebre]

I also have the problem of not being able to make backups of the panel.
I also see that the bug is revealed, but I don't see how to fix it, I 
reinstalled the package, but it had no effect.
Have you a solution to offer ?

Can you please open a new bug for that? It is different from the
original issue.

[Bug 1765565] Re: xfpanel-switch is failing to save panel settings

[C. Jeffery Small]

I'm on Xubuntu 19.04, fully patched with xfpanel-switch version
1.0.7-ubuntu2 and I'm having the same or similar problem as noted by the
original reporter.  When I start xfpanel-switch manually, here are the
errors reported upon startup, when the first save configuration is
pressed, and finally when Save Configuration is selected from the pop-up
menu.  This may have existed in 18.10 (I don't know) but I upgraded to
19.04 recently.  The last saved config is labeled Xubuntu Disco from
08-21-19.  I cannot remember if I made this manually or if it was done
automatically as part of the upgrade.

I have not deleted panels, but I have struggled with Xfce4 on my dual-headed 
system since support for independent parallel desktops running (non-Xinerama 
mode) on each screen in Xubuntu 18.10 was broken.  This may be due to moving to 
gtk3, but it is a serious degradation of service since xfdesktop and 
xfce4-panel no longer honor the display option.  (Note: xfwm4 still works on 
two independent displays!)  I mention this first and foremost because I want to 
see this fixed, and second because there were two different panels defined on 
this system at one point -- one for each display -- and that may have some 
bearing on what may be causing this problem.

If you need further config info from this system, please let be know.
I'm not currently sure where to look for the panel definitions and don't
want to much up my current working panel.

[Bug 1765565] Re: xfpanel-switch is failing to save panel settings

[Alistair Buxton]

First a quick description of the panel configuration: Every plugin on
every panel is stored in a series of properties. Then, each panel has a
list of plugins on that panel, which references the central list.

What has happened here is that somehow a panel has been deleted
(panel-0), but the plugin settings associated with it have been left
behind. However, the .desktop files for the launchers have been deleted.
Launchers are not the only type of plugin which has been orphaned in
this way, there are a few others. Every plugin with ID > 11 in the xml
is an orphan.

I'm not sure how this happened. It doesn't seem to happen with the panel
in 18.04 if you delete a panel.

In order to fix this I think panel-switch will have to check where every
plugin exists somewhere on a panel, and if not ignore it (ie don't save
it).

Oh and one other thing: the missing .desktops are dated from 2015 and
this is an upgrade. Looks like the default panel configuration? Maybe
this is a bug in an old xfce4-panel which is now fixed, but leaves
behind broken config artifacts?
