I was seeing the same blank bar and had to do as you suggested: cp -f /usr/share/fbpanel/multiwindow ~/.config/fbpanel/ To get anything useful. Might want to add this command as part of the installation process (with a simple file check to make sure ~/.config/fbpanel/multiwndow doesn't exist before copying, of course).

Do you have fbpanel-6.1-4? (The earlier releases > from Ports do not include the multiwindow profile.) If you rm > ~/.config/fbpanel/multiwindow, does it work after that?
