Hi. I wrote the patch that was applied in the most recent version, and I
think I have seen your issue too. However, I don't understand how my
patch could have fixed it.
It is related to config copying. If you load a config and then
immediately try to save it creates a direct copy of the config you just
loaded by parsing it and saving it out again, without reading or writing
to the xfconf. It seems like because of this it is possible that you can
make changes to the config while panel-config is still running and they
won't be saved.
The patches I sent were to prevent some crashes if the config is corrupted
externally.
Because we are really close to release I did not try to fix this issue with
config copying, as it would involve getting really deep into the code. You
should be able to work around it by restarting panel-switch after loading and
before saving, or by using the command line interface eg:
xfpanel-switch save path/to/myconfig.tar.gz
xfpanel-switch load path/to/myconfig.tar.gz
The command line interface does not do any fancy config copying at all.
It always saves/loads immediately from/to xfconf. So it should not have
this problem.
