Afraid not.

If by 'menu' you mean the right-button on the mouse, then, yes, that does
pop up a menu which includes "Panel Options...".

But if I click on that, nothing happens (apart from the menu that offerred
it vanishing again). Nothing appears that would let me set any actual
options, etc.

If you mean the middle-button on the mouse (i.e. the RO 'menu' click) then
that does nothing at all.

Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding?

FWIW I removed the default Xubuntu 'panel 2' as I did in earlier distros.
So just have the ROX panel at the bottom. And I'm running 'rox -S' at
startup with no ROX pinboard.

So what value, where, sets the user-chosen height ('width'?) of the panel?
If you can direct me to the file and item I can try altering the value by
editing the file. However as yet, I've not found it!  :-)
