I took a break, made some coffee, then came back to this with a refreshed brain.
And there they are front and center.... your "dots".. Looks like about
6 on mine on either end of that panel without doing anything special
to have to see them. If you hover over either set of dots then click
and hold, you can move the whole panel wherever you wish to place it.
First kernel panic of the day solved! *yayhoo!*
