How about the following commands? $ killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel& Closing the terminal in which the command is run, will kill the panel. Usually it should restart itself by killing it. > > Is there a way I can reinstall gnome? There is, but I doubt this would fix anything, since the configurations for your panel are located in your home directory. I cannot name the exact package name right now. > This is ridiculous - another > testament for the success that gnome 3 has been. You cannot seriously base your conclusion on one bug, which this clearly is. I don't know which version you are using, but latest Trisquel is actually GNOME 3 in fall-back - no GNOME Shell. This fall-back is greatly reduced in functionality than 2x versions were, but Trisquel made some improvements and added eye-candy. I personally forget that I'm not using 2x GNOME. The brute-force last measure would be to delete the ~/.gnome2 directory. This used to work in GNOME 2 when there were glitches that ware beyond fixing for me. I don't know is it still an option in GNOME 3. There is no ~/.gnome3 directory. Have in mind that this will delete all your settings in GNOME.
