    Shutdown/Power Icon on Far Right Top panel disappeared...

    Hey everyone.

    After a recent upgrade, the red power icon in the far right of the upper panel disappeared. In its place is a half obscured copy of my user name, which appears right next to my user name (along with the chat icon). The chat icon/user name is functional, as it is supposed to be, but the half obscured user name that replaced my shutdown/restart power icon is just a bug, and has no function. Not only is it unsightly, but I miss the power icon. Yes, I can right-click on the panel and add one, but it doesn't allow me to drag it all the way to the far upper-right corner, where it is supposed to be located... I found this post in another thread: sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-session, but it did nothing to solve my problem... Any and all help is appreciated! I'm running 64-bit 10.10, btw, if that makes any difference...

    Try right clicking the panel & select "add to panel". I'm on 11.04 right now, so I can't test it to see exactly which one it is, but you should be able to find it in there and add it back to your panel.

    If you're successful with that, try locking it to your panel & hopefully that won't happen again.

    Also, may I suggest Cairo Dock.

    The applet name is indicator applet session , it is the applet that includes your name. There is also an applet called shutdown and that is its only function.

    like i said, i already tried that... yes, i have a power button on my panel, but it isn't were it's supposed to be, and i can't drag it to where it's supposed to be, the far-right-hand upper corner.

    This things giving you headaches huh.

    The other icons that are blocking it need to be unlocked before you can move anything across them.

    Whew, I remember going thru that.

    There is a very small area to the left of those icons that you can click to unlock them. They will probably all move together.
