I'm not sure how the panel would be able to affect this directly, 
possibly by setting properties on the window, but that shouldn't change 
the window frame layout!

It looks like the x,y positions of some of the pieces of the frame are 
being set to 0,0. The best way to debug this would be to make a copy of 
the theme.jl file and remove pieces of the frame until you just have 
one badly positioned piece left. Then run sawfish under gdb and set a 
breakpoint on the build_frame_part function -- it's that function that 
initializes the position of each piece of the window frame -- and open 
a new window

I haven't heard of this before,
