The top panel of my desktop is misplaced every time I start the PC. (see pic1)
Also when the panel is misplaced and I maximize a program windows cover the upper part of the program (see pic2)
That happens after I changed the screen resolution from 1366x768 to 1024x768 to match a projector resolution that I used. After the presentation I restored my normal resolution. After that every time I open the PC I have the problem shown in PIC's.
Every time I boot I have center the panel alignment in order for the panel to take the normal position.
Is something that I can do about that problem?
Thank you
PIC1

Does this also happen with a new panel?
Did you change anything besides the resolution like e.g. absolute position in systemsettings? |

I did not chanenged anything at all.
The new panel is going on the left and I don't use it.
The strange thing is when I choose panel -> alignment -> center (or whatever) it takes the normal position.  but the problem is that I have to do that every time I boot.

Try rebooting after the change (alignment -> center) with widgets unlocked
You may have to recenter it again, if so, then lock widgets and reboot again
This happened to me once before in the early stages of kde4 and the above helped. A lot of reboots, but it worked finally.
Note:
Has to be reboot, not restarting kde (been there done that)
This may not work for you period, good luck |

Thank you I will try and I will report what happens.
However, after extensive googling I know taht this is a very old and very common problem that is going to be solved in KDE 4.7.

It does not work.
Every time I have to adjust the panel to fit the screen.
I will wait for next KDE version

You can try reloading plasma after you make your changes
Code:
kquitapp plasma-desktop
plasma-desktop
You can also try if the above don't work to just delete ~/.kde4/share/config/plasm* and restart kde or the drastic delete of .kde |

After the commands
Code:
kquitapp plasma-desktop

I got

Ok I deleted all plasm* and recreated the panel. After configuring it I restarted X and it stays in place.
I will make a script to copy those new created files in ../config every time I use a projector.
Thank you.

Glad something worked

Comment #4 from Aaron J. Seigo <aseigo>
while annoying and technically incorrect this:
"Invalid D-BUS interface name 'org.kde.plasma-desktop.PlasmaApp' found while
parsing introspection"
is harmless. the hyphen in the name technically violates the dbus spec, but the
dbus server does nothing to enforce it.
