Ubuntu – How to restore a ‘panel’ in Ubuntu

gnomeUbuntu

I accidentally removed one of the default panels in Ubuntu 9.04 which contained (among other items) my Dropbox icon, GMail notifier & battery meter.

This happened when I right-clicked what I thought was an icon to remove it, but instead the whole panel disappeared (the panel was located just to the left of the clock & volume control in the top right of the screen).

Now I can't get access to my Dropbox icon icon (have tried un/reinstalling) etc.

Anyone know how I can restore the panel, or failing that the Dropbox icon?

Best Answer

I generally use the following:

gconftool-2 --shutdown && rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel && pkill gnome-panel

Please notice this will also reset the other panels. You can't restore one single panel.
