I have the same problem and have had for some time. I have a single panel at the bottom of the screen. The problem arises when using compiz.

When booting, the panel shows (with the wrong theme) at the bottom then at the top and then at the bottom again. Intermittently however even though the panel is shown at the bottom of the screen, it is impossible to click on it - as described above what responds is the space at the top where the panel was temporarily. Usually after a while (or after opening a window and maximising and minimising it) the system starts to work correctly.

I am on Ubuntu MATE 16.04, compiz. AMD GPU using the open source drivers.

I assume it is a race problem with the panel starting too soon before compiz is fully loaded.
