trouble with panel icons staying put

Hello TDE users/developers:

I am using debian/buster now since it's release.� I am also using the 
"preliminary stable builds" of TDE using the following location:

deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb buster deps-r14 main-r14

I am having 3 problems.� The first was with TDM, and that has been 
resolved (http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::16492). I think 
that my 2nd and 3rd problem may be related, so I will describe them both 
together in this request for help.

Panel icons moving:

My panel is on the bottom centered.� However, it doesn't matter where it 
is located, the icons will not stay put.� It seems that the last panel I 
move, continues to follow my mouse when it is active within the panel.� 
This drives me absolutely crazy.� I have tried the "lock panels" switch, 
and it makes no difference.� How do I fix this ?

Screen saver/locker not starting automatically:

The (screen saver/lock screen) will not start automatically as it 
should.� No matter what choice I make for the saver (I prefer blank, but 
have tried others), if I try to have it start automatically, it will not 
start.� I can manually start the lock screen, and it works as expected, 
and unlocks with the password. I have also tried disabling the screen 
saver provided by TDE, and then use another screen saver from the 
distribution (such as xscreensaver), and it works fine.� Of course, I 
prefer to use the TDE screensaver.� How can I fix this ?

I use the commercial nvidia driver installed with debian/buster 
packages.� I have also tried removing the debian-supplied nvidia 
drivers, and used the nvidia drivers .run installer obtained directly 
from nvidia.� Makes no difference in these 2 issues.

I am not sure these 2 issues are related.


Thanks again.
