Odd line through XFCE desktop

Hi All,

My current setup on my laptop is Arch with XFCE4, and I quite like the way I have it set up. The problem is that I have a faint grey line through my screen that is always there, regardless of the window that is open. At first I thought it had come about through pressure on the screen at some point when transporting the laptop, but I noticed today that windows snap to it and that it shows up in screenshots [see http://i.imgur.com/sEBIA2p.png ].

I have no idea what is causing this, I am wondering if XFCE is displaying the shadow of an invisible panel at the bottom of the screen, but I can't disable / find it in the panel settings.

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

What compositor you use? What themes you use?

I haven't installed any compositor, but I'm using the Arc GTK theme.

I have 2 ideas:
1) Try running compton compositor
2) Test some other gtk themes
