Comment 5 for bug 688858

Its been along time , but this is basicly what was happening.
My kid played a game, at this point I dont rember which one. The game
changed the screen resoultion, and when he closed the game the
resoulution stayed the way the game had it set. The only wat to fix this
was to rebbot or log out and log back in. At the game resoultion this
left the logout icon off the screen. You either had to hard crash reboot
or move the task bars to get to the icon.
I didnt like crash booting so I decided to permantly move the panal with
the logout icon to bottom center. I dont remember exactly what order I
did it, but basicly I ended up with 2 task bar panals, at bottom center,
and the log out bar was underneath the other one. It confused the 2
panals and you could not use, or remove either one of them. I tried
everything even updating and it would no longer let me acsess or move
those panals.
I wiped the drive and reloaded a later version a couple weeks ago thus
the problem is gone.
Thanks Mike

Am I right in thinking that the resolution changed *because* of the game, and that you then had to move panels around to do stuff, and that in doing that, the panels moved to the same place i.e. over the top of each other, making them useless? I think I have that right, correct me if I'm wrong.
