I renamed the .config dir, and logged out and logged back in.
Now I have the clean xfce desktop.
I found out that if I subsequently login and select classic gnome,
log out, and log back in and select xfce, I will end up with 2sets  of panels.
This SHOULD NEVER happen - else, why provide multiple desktop choices
at login, if they will end up getting mixed together.

Also, this was a CLEAN install from the DVD (the sha256-sum of which
checked out).
It was not an upgrade. So it is not clear at all why I have been
having so many problems
with so many different things, of which I have enumerated only a few
on this list.
I will not even mention the others, lest I get cussed out :) by some
purist list cop for deviating off topic.
