[xubuntu-users] I still have the black rectangle on my desktop.

[Lutz Andersohn]

The xfce4-panel is sort of similar to what you know from Windows as
status bar. Do you have a bar at the bottom with some icons on it? At
the top?
You can do a right clock on it and click "Settings" (may be
"preferences") and see how many panels you have. You probably want to
keep panel 0. If you have a panel 1 (drop down list up top in the
settings dialog), you can probably delete it.
