If it makes you feel any better, I'm also using XFCE on both my desktop and my laptop, and I'm not seeing anything like what you're describing. Of course, I only have one panel, at the bottom because I can't see the point of wasting screenspace on a second one. Log out, go to a different console, log in and rename .config.xfce4 to .config.xfce4.bak or something, then go back to the GUI and log in again. That way, your config isn't lost for good, but you can get a clean start and see if it's still happening.
I renamed the .config dir, and logged out and logged back in. Now I have the clean xfce desktop. I found out that if I subsequently login and select classic gnome, log out, and log back in and select xfce, I will end up with 2sets of panels. This SHOULD NEVER happen - else, why provide multiple desktop choices at login, if they will end up getting mixed together.
I believe I did the same thing you did.... These are the steps I took.
1. Login to a xfce session 2. mv .config to config 3. Logout 4. Login to a xfce session 5. Dialog pops up and I pick "default". 6. Logout 7. Login to a GNOME session. (don't know what "classic gnome" is) 8. Logout 9. Login to a xfce session .... and I should see a problem?
I don't see any problems.... So....am I doing what you're doing to try and duplicate the problem?
Also, this was a CLEAN install from the DVD (the sha256-sum of which checked out). It was not an upgrade. So it is not clear at all why I have been having so many problems with so many different things, of which I have enumerated only a few on this list. I will not even mention the others, lest I get cussed out :) by some purist list cop for deviating off topic.
Bringing up problems with Fedora on this list are never OT. But, it is suggested that you keep to one problem per message/thread to avoid having things get mixed up or confused.
