[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#408534: xfce4-panel: Panel crashes when moved to 2nd screen in multihead setup

[Robert Spielmann]

Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.3.99.2-1
Severity: important

I am running a dual-head setup on a Dell Inspiron 6400, screen 0 (laptop 
LCD) with 1280x800, screen 1 (ext. TFT) 1680x1050 - whenever I try to 
set the panel to run on the external TFT, it crashes with the following 
error:

The program 'xfce4-panel' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 28497 error_code 8 request_code 56 minor_code 0)

Unfortunately, this situation makes working on the external TFT 
complicated because I have to start all programs manually and I am 
unable to see the taskbar including the system status etc.
