Panels gone

:oops: Some how I managed to remove the panels. All of them, and I can't work out how to get them back. Can you help this poor, panelless noob?

Re: Panels gone

Somehow I've been having this problem too, though I can still access the Xfce menu with a right mouse click.

Anyone know how either of us can get the panels back, though?

Re: Panels gone

What version are you guys using and any messages when you run

xfce4-panel

inside a terminal?

Re: Panels gone

I'm using Xfce 4.3.90.2 on Xubuntu 6.06.1. No error messages popped up when I ran the suggested command.

Re: Panels gone

I just tried that on GNOME and it opened an xfce panel, which may have just fixed my problem.
I'm running the same as whitecollar.

EDIT- well... it runs the panels in xfce fine, but only so long as I'm running ti through the terminal. How do I make it so that it always runs?

Using Xfce with Xubuntu

Find Sessions and Startup then click the Advanced Tab

in the Compatibility box  check GNOME or KDE  (even both)

For Xubuntu just check GNOME - worked for me

Panel's were lost after clicking on sub-pixel hinting and restarting. (Xubuntu 6.06.1)
If you have a CRT display - don't bother exploring this check box.

Re: Panels gone

If the panel is not running, execute xfce4-panel in the program launcher (Alt+F2). If nothing is visible quit panel (xfce4-panel --exit in terminal), remove your old config files: rm -R ~/.config/xfce4/panel and restart the panel.

Re: Panels gone

I have this problem too!!! And nothing here seems to fix it (I'm using xubuntu dapper).
In my case what happened was that X.org froze up and I shut down the computer via ssh (sudo halt). Then after rebooting no more panels, all I can do is right click on the desktop an use the applications menu.
What causes this? I mean there must be a bad state file somewhere or something like that because even if I run xfce4-panel it isn't the same panel I used to have.
Can someone please help me get my panels back?
