Indeed, that's well-hidden 8-) I looked around a little and, like you, found
nothing.

Playing more with the Pi, the problem seems a little more strange yet. On
power up the desktop background fills the entire 1920 by 1080 screen. When
I log in, the inch or so to the left edge clears to pale grey, matching the
menu bar. It's almost as if a blank frame has been drawn over the edge of
the screen. If I bring the menu bar to the foreground by clicking in it, the
icons (raspberry & browser) show through. If I drag a window to the left
edge it overlies the blank area.

Going back to the default desktop changes nothing substantive, so it's not
a fault of the "experimental GL" desktop.

I'll wait a bit before making a noise there; the issue is both harmless
and obvious, folks most probably know of its existence and will deal with
it when opportune. I thought it was a configuration error.

Thanks for pointing out the bug reporting site, I didn't know it existed.
