It's entirely possible I'm using the wrong nomenclature. I'm referring 
to the buttons (?) that show up at the top of the screen when I start a 
program. Typically, they arrange themselves in the order in which they 
are started. That's what I want, unless one of them is closed for some 
reason and I restart it. Then I want to move it back to where it was 
before. However, right now the buttons are organized in the order in 
which the program was started, but when one shuts down and I restart it, 
I can't move the button to where it used to be. I used to be able to 
simply left-click and hold a button and drag it to where I want it in 
the panel. When I do that now, it acts like it's supposed to until I let 
go of the mouse button, but the button never moves. I know this happened 
to me before, and I figured it out somehow, likely with PLUG help, but 
the solution is eluding me today.
