I was in the middle or reporting a bug in the workspace_switcher panel applet (#383641), and I thought it would be a good idea to try with fresh gconf settings. So I renamed ~/.gconf and logged out and back in. After confirming that the bug was still present I reverted the rename and logged out and back in.
Now I have lost all my panel settings, and am having difficulty recreating them. However they are all there in the /apps/panel subtree of gconf, but they are not being respected by the panel that appears. For example /apps/panel lists all the applets that were there, despite none being actually present. And if I make changes in /apps/panel they have no effect.
How can I get my previous panel back / force my panel to respect the entries in gconf /apps/panel?
Additionally, is this a bug, or was renaming ~/.gconf a stupid thing to do?
Thanks a lot.
