I then set the res to 1024x768, using the System>Preferences/Monitor dialog, and logged out and logged in (without rebooting the OS). This time the screen came up in 1024x768 without the top panel, but showing the bottom panel. I've attached yet another Xorg.0.log (-.log4) file.
THEN I rebooted completely. The login screen showed as 1600x1200, but the final screen showed as 1024x768.
