I have set a panel as Mode: Horizontal, and at first this was respected. But then when I re-start X the "horizontal" panel displays vertically, to the full height of the screen -- and it looks broken, mostly empty. Generally I can fix this just by opening Panel preferences: this seems to "remind" the panel that it ought to be horizontal and it snaps back. (All I have to do is open the Preferences dialog and click "Close".) I've seen this on Fedora 19 and Arch, both running version 4.10.1 of the panel. On Fedora my horizontal panel is full width and I have to fix it on every boot. On my laptop running Arch the horizontal panel is narrow and the error doesn't happen on every boot -- though even so the panel in question appears full-screen vertical on the first appearance of the desktop, then quickly corrects itself.
In case it helps, here are the "Display" specs of a panel that appears full-screen vertical when the xfce desktop starts up, and displays correctly only on opening Panel preferences: General Mode: horizontal Lock panel: checked Automatically show/hide: unchecked Don't reserve space: unchecked Measurements Row size: 32 Number of rows: 1 Length (%): 100 Automatically increase the length: unchecked
