Public bug reported:
When launching xfce4-display-settings (provided by the package
xfce4-settings 4.11.0-1ubuntu1) in Xubuntu 13.10 (either from
Applications Menu > Settings Manager > Display or through a CLI) then
not only does the Screen Settings Configurations panel appear (as in
earlier releases of Xubuntu), but also a new large non-transparent black
pop-up notification panel detailing summary information on the current
display output device.
This pop-up notification panel is positioned in the middle of the bottom
of the screen on top of any other screen items.
1/ There the new pop-up notification panel blocks the existing Xubuntu
Desktop panel from view and from access. Any buttons in the Xubuntu
Desktop panel below the new notification panel are now invisible and
inaccessible.
2/ The new pop-up notification panel is permanent until xfce4-display-
settings itself is closed. It cannot be dismissed (there is no Close
button on the new notification panel that can be clicked), nor can it be
dragged away to give access to the Xubuntu Desktop panel.
3/ The new pop-up notification panel does not adhere to the universal
Desktop preferences settings for notifications that have been set in
Applications Menu > Settings Manager > Notifications.
While the new Xubuntu Xfce display manager itself is surely a welcome an
improvement, its associated new notification panel is seriously flawed
and highly troublesome.
The quickest-fix temporary resolution of these three issues is simply to
drop this new display pop-up notification panel altogether, because in
itself it adds very little to the Screen Settings Configuration panel
which triggers it. That gives time to work these issues out.
