I finally found a way to move the panel to where I wanted it. With the resolution set to 800x600 the only part of the panel visible was the bit you use to log out. By temporarily reconfiguring X to 1024x768 enough of the panel was visible to reveal the place where you can grab it and drag it further into view. If you log out and then reconfigure X to 800x600 resolution when you log back in enough of the panel will be visible to enable you to drag it to where you want it!
I would still be interested in finding out how to preset the position using config files though. Ken -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
