In .config/xfce4/panel, I get two config files:

-rw-r--r--    1 djc      eng          4169 Nov 21 23:59 contents.xml
-rw-r--r--    1 djc      eng          3378 Nov 21 23:59 contents.xml.1

The settings for the monitor corresponding to :0.0 are in the
first file, :0.1 is in the second file.  In my setup, the contents
of the two panels are substantially different, and they always
come back the way I have them set.
