Re: xfce4 pannel problem

I've no great experience in using XFCE4, but I've lately been using it more and more. Deleting the default panels seems to not work particularly well from the GUI utilities.

What I do is the following: I open ~/.config/xfce4/panels/panel.xml and edit it as I wish. Make a backup if it, and then simply remove the entry for the panel you want to get rid of. Next time you login to a xfce4 session it should be gone.

Maybe there's a better way, I don't know.

Re: xfce4 pannel problem

This bug appeared from an unknown update a few months ago and the suggestion from KimTjik seems the only way to deal with this at the moment.  I was unable to ever track down the cause...

Re: xfce4 pannel problem

Question what version of the xfce4-panel package do you have installed? Reason I ask is with 4.4.1 I had that issue but once I updated to 4.4.2 the issue went away. Although the method kimtjik wrote is how I did it in 4.4.1
