This shows the position of the top-left panel after a monitor positioning change

Hello,

I noticed a case where xfce4-panel would forget to refresh the position of the
panels when changing my monitors' positioning. I used nvidia-settings to set my
screen from

_______________               _________
|  1  |       |         ______|       |
|_____|   2   |   to    |  1  |   2   |
      |_______|         |_____|_______|

The top panel of monitor 1 would not be repositioned to the top of monitor 1,
which results in it being out of the monitors area. I had to restart
xfce4-panel for it to be repositioned correctly, while I expected xfce4-panel
to notice a screen position change and recalculate the panels' position as
xfdesktop does.

4.6 panel does not watch screen/monitor changes. Will be fixed in devel panel.
