Right-click an existing panel and choose Customize Panel (or Main Menu - Settings - Panel Manager). Click on the + to create a new panel. In the lower part of the window there is a square consisting of 12 segments (3 for each side of the square) representing all possible positions for a Fixed Position panel. Click on the one you want.

The 12 segments square is not available to the newly added panel, but only the the default top and bottom one. It's strange that the options are different to the newly added on from the default one. Regards.

How to restore the default top panel in xfce4
Hi: I'm meeting a problem on xfce4 panel after I did a full package upgrade (no dist-upgrade), debian lenny/sid 2.6.24-1, xfce4.4-2, xfce4-panel 4.4.-2-6. My default top panel with the task list, workspaces was becoming bigger after the upgrade, and I couldn't get it back to normal by modifying the properties of the panel. So I removed the panel, and tried to add a new panel. But there is no option for the newly added panel to be placed at the top of screen. I have to get the previously removed panel back because I want one panel be on top of the screen. Does any one know how to do that? Thanks a lot! Michael.

You can probably delete your ~/.xfce4 directory or file or whatever name it has so on the next xfce startup you'd have new settings. Be aware that this will remove all xfce settings, not just the panel thing. Thanks a lot!

Re: How to restore the default top panel in xfce4
I couldn't find the ~/.xfce4, Is it the one xfce4-session.rc file under /etc/xdg/xfce4-session? Cleaning up all the old settings is the last step I want to do. Hope there can be another way to fix this problem. Thanks again M.
