Okay, after much digging around, I've encountered a twist that indicates
a different sort of bug.
The system in question is using "gdm-2.20" instead of plain "gdm". If
the user has no previous config, and I select a session of type "Last"
(i.e. "default"), then I get the messed-up Xfce panels. If I select a
"Xfce session" (i.e. "startxfce4"), however, then the panels come up
correctly.
So the question is, what the heck is gdm-2.20 doing differently for a
"default" session? (It's certainly not starting up a GNOME session...)
I'll try to boil down the setup necessary to reproduce this bug, and
file a new report once I do.
