Thanks, I'll try restarting g-p-m next time. I am shy of killing parts of the interface because I've had too many experiences where the killed process wouldn't come back, and this persisted even through a logout / log back in cycle. xfdesktop, most recently (on xubuntu).
Anyway. I should take responsibility for reporting my laundry list of bugs (comment #8) as separate bugs. Will get to it eventually.
