Thanks, that makes sense, but I managed to fix the two things that were
bothering me and I'm liking XFCE.

I had to fix the panel  after fixing many disk problems with fsck and
updating.  

I weirdly lost my panels. Rather the shortcuts in the panels, not the
panels themselves. Once I figured out how to repopulate them, all that
seemed fine. 

I also wanted to get multimedia playback working -- with nonfree
formats.  I installed all the codecs but neither Parole or VLC worked
right. Mostly the video was frozen or went to black. That turned out to
be a driver problem solved with installing akmod-nvidia.
