[Trisquel-users] Desktop shows no toolbar

[gmapeg4]

I just read about Trisquel yesterday and it sounded exactly like what I  
wanted so I installed it today.  I was looking for a distro that would be  
similar to Windows as it is for my daughter and she and computers don't get  
along very well.  I wanted to keep it as similar to Windows as possible so  
she would have a bit less of a learning curve.  However, after installing it  
and rebooting, I have no toolbar/taskbar on my desktop and no access to the  
programs or to see if it is connected wirelessly.  The toolbar was there  
until I rebooted.

Appreciate any help.
