Possible Bug

[David A. Gershman]

The web site said I could post a bug to this mailing list so if this is
actually ill-placed, my apologies.

I'm running XFree86 3.4 and compiled XFce 4.2.3.2.  All went fine but
now have consistent results, described further below, that when logging
in a second time after modifing the panel config, I get a dialog box
stating "No data was found.  The panel will be empty."

Facts:
  - XFree86 3.4.x
  - ~/.xinitrc:
       . /etc/profile.local
       . ~/.profile
       startxfce4

  - /etc/profile.local:
       export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

  - ~/.profile:
       umask 077
       export PATH=/home/gershman/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
       alias emacs='emacs ... &'

Steps:
  1) When computer boots, I'm presented with the generic XF86 login  
     screen.  I log in.
  2) XFCE starts up fine and shows panel and taskbar as normal.
  3) Click on 'Settings' icon on panel and select 'XFce Panel'
  4) Change Panel orientation to vertical and click 'Close'
  5) Exit session via exit button on panel...leave "save session"
     checked.

When I log in again, I get the dialog box stating "No data was found. 
The panel will be empty."

Step 3 is one example of changes.  When I initially setup XFce I made
other changes and things seemed to go well.  As I did more expirements,
the above steps are consistent and repeatable.

Also, Step 5 was attempted w/o saving the session with the same results.

Ideas?  Or Bug?

Let me know if you need additional information.
