Neither machine uses the virtual screen feature. I generally set things to support just one resolution. I have tried reconfiguring X to have a higher resolution on the troublesome box with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-s3 and pushing the resolution up to 1024x768 (which is about as far as I can go with the attached monitor). I had to drop back to 16 bit colour because the card has only 2Mb video RAM. At this resolution about half the panel is visible. It appears that the panel is drawn at a fixed offset (in pixels) from the top left corner. The help files don't seem to describe how to change this setting. I will do some more searching.
