The above problems went away a few weeks later (probably by some
updated package). After about a year of continuous *normal*
appearance, the task bar looks weird again. This seems to be related
to yesterday's update of the xserver. The second update of the xserver
(distributed today, something has been backed out according to the
description of the update) did not change the situation.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards
