nonfunctional part of panel

[Soon Young]

Hi,


In the place on my panel, the upper right-hand corner, where the little button for shut down/restart/hibernate etc. used to be, there is now a grey area that won't do anything at all. It won't let me drag things there and doesn't seem to think it's a part of the panel.

What's going on, and how do I get the little menu back?

Thanks,
Danielle

First, welcome to the forum. The menu you are referring to is actually an applet of gnome panel. Right click on the panel > Add to panel > indicator-applet-session > Add.

BTW, posting your screen-shot would make it easy for all to help you. Please mark your thread as 'Solved' by accessing the Thread Tools Menu above.

Thanks SO much! I feel a bit foolish.
