Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I wanted to create another panel on my computer. I created one, which
formed directly above one that I already had (at the bottom of one of my
two screens). Just out of curiosity I asked it to autohide. That was a
big mistake.
Now, I am unable to right click to remove or change the panel (the right
click menu doesn't appear). This is true for all my panels. I thought
logging out might fix it. No luck. Restart. No luck. Now my "top level"
panel won't load, which means I don't have access to any of the main
menus at all.
I resolved the issue by doing the following, but this would be difficult
for the average user:
1. Created a launcher for terminal: Right click on desktop, select
create launcher, command is: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
2. Opened Nautilus from terminal with command: nautilus.
3. Navigated to: .gconf/apps/panel/toplevels in the /home directory.
4. Deleted the last panel folder; in my case: panel_3
5. After delete, my other panels appeared and were then able to be
edited as normal.
