[gentoo-user] Can I do this remotely?

[Grant]

I recently had the problem described here:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=70884

The solution worked.  Now I'm being told the same system is having the
same problem, but I'm away from there.  Is there a way to fix it
remotely?

ssh in remotely and have a user log in to gdm locally.

ps will show if xfce4-panel is running twice, so have the local user log out, 
you edit the session startup files and have them try again.

You can use x11vnc to take control over what's happening on a local
display with X.

Do you know which file that is?  I have:

# cat /home/grant/.config/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc
[General]
SessionName=Default
SaveOnExit=true
[Splash Screen]
Engine=

but that doesn't seem to be it.
