If you're using composite in X, that would probably cause that, but if
not, I'm not sure; I've not used twinview.

Again, if you're using composite, I'd bet that's causing that, but if
not, it would be good to find out which program is crashing.  You're
saying that the whole desktop just exits?  Is it immediate, after a
certain amount of time, or when you run a specific program?

That sounds like a bug that showed up in 4.2.1.  I know that Breezy
uses 4.2.2, so I don't think that'd be it.  Maybe your other crashing
issues are preventing the panel from exiting cleanly, which means that
its configuration isn't saved.  Try setting up your panel as desired,
right-clicking on the handle of the panel, and selecting "Restart." 
This will force the panel to save your configuration right then.

(And would you mind if I posted this to the Xfce list?  I know there
are some twinview users thereon.)

HTH,
Andrew
