I'm not sure if what I am doing is considered wise or useful, but here goes.
In F7 I could stack two gnome panels over each other on the bottom of
the screen, and their order would persist. Under F9, some type of
)perhaps unintentional) weighting takes hold, and one panel takes
precedence over
Example :
$ smbclient -A /tmp/foo -N //192.168.200.10/a_share -D / -c ls
Where :
/tmp/foo contains :
username=uname
password=pass
Under F7 this worked fine. The -N (or --no-pass) option helps deal with
broken credentials files (/tmp/foo) so no prompt is requested or shown.

I know you probably don't want anyone hand editing the

So we disagree about mixing the -A (or -U) option(s) with the -N option
