strange XFCE4 quirks

I've started to run up a list of odd behaviors in XFCE4.  I'm not sure if
some of them are user-error, or something specific to my configuration, or
genuine problems:

1) gkrellm2 doesn't always obey the "don't appear on taskbar".  If i go
into the gkrellm2 configuration, and turn off, and then back on the
option, then it stops showing up on the taskbar, until i log out of XFCE4
and back in again.  This could be a gkrellm2 bug, but i'm not sure.
2) xfce4-panel keeps showing up collapsed in the upper left hand corner of
the screen.  Basically, i like to have it auto-hide, based vertically, in
the lower right hand corner.  Yet, if i log out and back in again, it
defaults  to the upper left hand corner, vertically, collapsed, so that it
looks like this thin silver  bar.  As soon as i mouse over it, it
'unhides' and then i drag it back to the lower right corner, and life is
good until i log out again.
3) I can't figure out how to make the lock/logout icons appear
side-by-side in a vertical xfce4-panel session.  They keep insisting on
appearing on top of eachother instead, which uses more realestate than i'd
like.

thanks.
