I was working too late & dozing off. Seems that I added an icon to the toolbar over 100 times.
I've tried right-clicking and choosing "Remove from Panel" over 100 times but there are too many of them!
Is there a tool bar configuration file that I can edit? Thanks for any help you can give!

lol oops
you could delete the panel (right click) and add a new one to replace it...

Off hand I would say right click the panel and choose "Delete This Panel"

Then add a new panel and put the stuff on there that you want.

Thanks, but there's no open space to right-click on,
and the System/Places/Applications icons are no longer visible.

Anyone know the name of the configuration file for the toolbar?

OK, I finally right-clicked enough of the icons to get rid of them.
Never did find the toolbar config file.

In that case, to restore the original top & bottom default panels:


gnome-session-remove gnome-panel
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
gnome-panel &


Once you have restored the panel with your shortcuts and personal modifications, you can save the panel settings (example to file ~/Desktop/panels):

gconftool-2 --dump /apps/panel > ~/Desktop/panels

To restore saved panel settings and refresh the panel (example from file ~/Desktop/panels) :

gconftool-2 --load ~/Desktop/panels && killall gnome-panel
Sorry you weren't aware of this method to save your panel settings before the mishap. ;-)

Thanks- that's what I was looking for. I'm going to save my settings right now!
