Problem with panel: Xfce-4.0.6 and Xorg-6.7

   I finally have the proper driver for my video card so I'm running at
1280x1024 dpi resolution. Now, however, the panel no longer auto hides -- at
least not on three invocations of startx this evening.

   Perhaps this is related to the new X server. I tried Olivier's suggestion
of turning auto hide off and on. Makes no difference. While there's a lot of
real estate on the monitor at this resolution, and I'm used to the panel
being present all the time from xfce-1 through -3.8.18, I do like it to hide
itself.

   I downloaded the xfce4-session code and will build it tomorrow. Is it also
possible to modify the panel so that rather than seeing little images of
windows in each virtual desktop I can see a name for the application I keep
in each one? This is also a dropped feature that I used constantly for years
and I miss it.

Thanks,

Rich
