panel problem

[edscott wilson garcia]

Hi all, especially Jazman,

I ran into a problem with the panel. On returning from suspend state,
for some unknown reason my freebsd box crashed. So I reboot and
startxfce4 again. And *oh* surprise. My panel is reduced to nothing but
the top and bottom handlers. At my .xfce4 directory, my xfce4rc.bak is
reduced to 0B in size. This is what is left in xfce4rc:

xfce<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Xfce>
  <Panel orientation="1" layer="1" size="0" popupposition="1"
icontheme="FreeIcons" groups="0">
    <Position x="0" y="417" screenwidth="1152" screenheight="864"/>
  </Panel>
  <Groups/>
</Xfce>

Bye bye notes. Bye bye configuration. It's seems like the failsafe
backup mechanism may be a bit drastic and trash configuration when
certain things go wrong.

regards,

Edscott
