[Solved] Lost panel in Debian Wheezy

I logged out of my desktop session to clear it (the PC runs 24\7 and I log out to clear setting etc, about once a month, had been running for 35 days) and when I logged back in again I had no panel. I have tried running the commands xfce4-panel and xfce4-panel & via the run command box (ALT-F2) but nothing happens. I have checked running task and the panel is showing as running. As soon as I kill the running panel and new one starts up in its place but still fails to display. I have checked the .xsessions-errors but there is nothing in there relating to the xfce-panel, the only xfce error listed is as follows


** (xfce4-clipman:4672): WARNING **: Status Icon is not embedded

(xfce4-clipman:4672): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_destroy: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

I have removed the clipman plugin which is apart of the xfce-goodies package but I am still panel-less

Any thoughts??

Re: [Solved] Lost panel in Debian Wheezy

I have resolved this by renaming the existing .config/xfce4 folder then restarting so that a new xfce folder was created.   After this the panel had returned.

I would be interested to know if anybody has any thoughts on what it might have been causing the problem.

Re: [Solved] Lost panel in Debian Wheezy

It would be a good idea to file a bug and to attach the faulty .config/xfce4 folder (zipped) so that Nick (the panel developer) can have a look at what is going wrong.

Re: [Solved] Lost panel in Debian Wheezy

I'm not going to backport all the fixes for this problem in 4.8, some of those are too big for a stable branch.
