hmmm... I don't see a window order to set.
Right Click on "Applications Menu", select "Panel"->"Panel Preferences"
Click Tab for "Items"
Select "Window Buttons"
Click Edit button
Brings up dialog for Window Buttons which has:
Appearance
Behaviour
Filtering
with no ordering under any of them.

I must be looking in the wrong place?

You can set the order to 'None' in the window buttons properties so you can drag&drop them.

This has probably been addressed, but I couldn't find it using search.

freebsd, xfce 4.10

I would like to rearrange the icons in the "Window Buttons" area in "Panel 1" at the top of the display.
In particular, my .xinitrc specifies starting up 5 xterms,
and I would like them to always appear in a specific order.
As I start new xterms they properly show up to the right of the existing ones,
but the initial placement for the apps from .xinitrc seems pretty random.

If I right click on one of the icons and select "Move",
what moves is the window for the app,
not the icon in the panel.

Thanks for any help,

Gary
