restart bottom panel

cch2cch · 04-01-2006, 08:01 AM

I am running FC3/gnome. I deleted the bottom panel and now I get a "detected panel running, now I will exit" error message every time I log in. How can I restart the bottom panel? Thanks

See if you have something like this:

Code:

$ cat .gnome2/main

[Placement]
Dock=LocationBar\\0,3,1,0\\ToolBar\\0,2,1,0\\MenuBar\\0,1,1,0

I ran this lines from the GNOME support forum resets both the top and bottom panels but it ignores the launchers on the top panel in dir .gnome2/panel2.d/defaults/launchers which I copied from the root .gnome2 dir and used to work in my previous messing around with launchers on the top panel. I had to re-add those apps graphically. The script I ran was :
------------
gnome-session-remove gnome-panel
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
gnome-panel &
----------------
