Removing a panel does not work Steps to reproduce: 1) start with default xfce4 config (two panels) 2) try to remove one of the panels (panel preferences, remove ("-")) 3) all the panels briefly disappear, then reappears - nothing is removed Adding a panel works fine.
Strange, I cannot reproduce this problem with 4.13.1. Which version of xfconf do you have? Also, if you run the panel from the terminal with "PANEL_DEBUG=1 xfce4-panel" what's the output when trying to remove the second panel?

`(xfce4-panel:5858): Gtk-ERROR **: failed to add UI: The resource at “/org/xfce/libxfce4ui/libxfce4ui-dialog-ui.ui” does not exist` It's a bug with libxfce4ui 4.13.2 and libxfce4ui 4.13.3 releases where ui files are not provided in the tarball (due to bug in the --enable-maintainer-mode I suppose ). I guess you have the same problem if you press "F1" in xfce4-terminal application for example. You can try with libxfce4ui 4.13.1 or the git version. Reassigned to libxfce4ui component.
You are right about the "F1" in xfce4-terminal - same problem. I now reinstalled the git version (of everything xfce) in a separate environment and it works fine.
oh why did you tell about F1? It just broke compilation of libreoffice when it's almost finished :-D
btw libxfce4ui-4.13.3 is here and it crashes.
@Rion: So you can reproduce the problem? If so, do you get the same error message?
Yes. error is the same.
What other info do you need?
You probably misread, let me repeat: It's a known bug with libxfce4ui 4.13.2 and libxfce4ui 4.13.3. So if you have 4.13.3 then the error/bug is expected. You can try with either git master or 4.13.1 - in both of those the bug is corrected.
I unerstand that. I just noticed NEEDINFO status on the bug.
Fixed by https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13705 , and libxfce4ui need a new release :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 13705 ***
