Accidently deleted top panel in 10.04

[MikeinVA]

For whatever reason, I somehow deleted my top panel and couldn't shut down. I built a new one and have put some apps on it but still could use 'Places' any idea how to recreate that? Can my original panel be restored? I am still very new to this.

If I understood you: Places is inside the app called Menu Bar.

Can my original panel be restored?

Run these three 3 terminal commands


gconftool-2 --shutdown

rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel

pkill gnome-panel

Although I like the little script here...
