Help I've wiped out my xfce display -

[Bob Goodwin]

This time I decided to upgrade from FC5 to FC6 and save the trouble of 
reconfiguring everything ... but it turns our nothing is ever easy, not 
for me anyway!

After doing a yum update and rebooting this morning XFCE produced a 
different display than what has evolved from my settings over the last 
year or more.

So I spent about an hour trying to get back to where I want to be, set 
things to remember my settings, and then when I clicked on an item in 
the settings screen both "panels" appeared to go to [permanent] autohide 
[?] and all I have now is a black screen with a cursor.  Nothing I do 
gets me back to a menu or settings screen.

Is there a way to restore the defaults if nothing else.  The alternative 
now seems to be to remove/re-install xfce ...  Seems there ought to be a 
better way?
