    How to add a panel after deleting both?

    Say, i have deleted both the panels of ubuntu (the top and the bottom one). how do i now add panels?

    actually, i only know about adding panels by right clicking "Add panel" on the existing ones.

    I really wish I knew to the answer to this, I really do. It could happen to anyone. You could always create launchers for your apps? Maybe you could find a way to create a launcher for the add panels screen. *Awaits expert.

    Deleting your config files should do the trick (/there are lots of threads on this, use search)

    That happened to me a few times. The same issue in KDE and Gnome.

    Deleting panels (the default) should not be an option.

    GNOME doesn't allow you to delete the last panel, nor XFCE. Delete Panel is usually grayed out.

    Oops... My mistake. Thanks for the info. That's the way it should be.

    Try using this command in terminal:

    This will shutdown curently running gconf editing daemon (gconfd service) temperorly for the user.
    Code:
    gconftool-2 --shutdown
    This will get rid of your current panel for your username only from your home
    Code:
    rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
    This will kill(stop) all currently running panels for your user account
    Code:
    pkill gnome-panel
    Logout and log back in again.
    Once you log back in again, panels will be recreated and restored to default settings.

    That's all!

    In addition, what if the user doesn't know that password entries don't show asterisks, and doesn't move the cursor? The user will be furious and think they aren't typing the password at all.

    to restore the default panels, run:
    Code:
    gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
    killall gnome-panel
