This happened to me too, on both my desktop and my laptop. Mike I decided to check out xfce and this is happening to me too, but the suggested action above does not help. It keeps resetting back to the default, which pushed the panel off the screen.

My guess is your editing it from within an xfce session, and your changes are getting clobbered when you end the session. -- Eric G.

Note that the first two numbers are the coordinates, I believe. I just zeroed those and then it appeared in the top level corner. You can then reach the panels on the sides and move it to its proper location. Now if only someone would explain why the colours in my xterm are different in XFCE... Mike -- Michael P.

I ended up purging xfce and reinstalling, just to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. So I found geometry settings in ~/.xfce/xfce3rc and changed those, then I did a restart from within xfce and it worked that way. thanks for your responses...jc -- Jeff CoppockSystems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
