Holy schmoly! The xandr thing worked!  I did:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xrandr --output LVDS --off
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

and suddenly: Poof - the panel bar extended to the rest of the screen!
If you were here, I'd buy you a drink!

Now, how do I make that permanent, and is it a bug?

(Note - in this effort, I haven't tried running without the xorg.conf
file because the last time I did that, it ran through its gyrations and
ended up producing a file that ONLY let me see the low-res screen - in
other words, I was no longer able to crank the resolution beyond 1024 x
768. However, if you still need that, I'll save off my existing file and
run it again. Please let me know. I'm so happy right now, I'd do
anything!
