   That's how I maintain her system.

   I'll try the latter first. If there's still no window manage or workspaces
on the panel I'll let her start over again. More carefully this time, I
hope.

   She's been running Xfce on Slackware and Xubuntu for several years so she
knows how to use it. But, ... sometimes she doesn't pay attention when
making everything 'pretty.' Sigh.

Thanks,

Rich
