    I agree with you, now I know better. If I right click on the panel I only get: properties, move, remove, add new items, customize. None of these let access anything that will let me recover.

    Lesson learned. Any suggestions on how to regain access?

    Re: panels dissappeared

    Did you also try adjust panel?

    Edit: If you want to have the Firefox icon back, you have to add a new element, in this case a starter. If you want to move the new created starter icon, right click on it and choose "move", you can place it where you want.

    try this in terminal or Alt F2

    and navigate to your applications folder

    should be filesystem>user>share>applications

    may have to use gksudo xfce4

    I have FF and Thunderbird, but that it is all. The "System" and Places" are gone. With out "System" ( I believe that is what it was) and since right clicking on the desktop gives me now access to programs, I no access to even start a terminal window or anything else.

    There is no adjust panel.

    Do you mean the menu is not there anymore at the left?
    If that is the case, right click on panel, add new item, select Xfce menu.
    I hope I understand you well.

    I had a similar issue which came about because Nautilus was running in the background. I shut down Nautilus and my XFCE panel came back. But it sounds like even if this was the case you've cooked it further!

    If you have access to programmes, can you access ccsm, and bind some kind of keyboard shortcut to create a terminal? Then open the terminal and run the commands to restore your panels?

    Wish I could, but Xfce Menu does not appear under add new item.

    this appears to do nothing. The closest is alt-f2, run in terminal, gksudo xfce4
    That opens a terminal window (without a prompt) but it dissappears before I can do anything.
