Panel missing Zorin 5

Dear Friends,

I have the zorin 5 default bottom panel missing from the desktop. The issue happened when i was trying alter the size and make it appear in top.
When i type gnome-panel in a terminal and press enter the panel appears but when I close the terminal the panel disappears . How to restore it permanently?? Can anyone give a a good solution. I have also tried the option of running the command killall gnome-terminal and restarting the pc. Even tried reinstalling the gnome panel, same issue exits.

Regards,

Resam

Hi!
First of all the correct command is

Code:

killall gnome-panel

(not "gnome-terminal").

Do this: use look changer and change look i.e. to Gnome Look (logout-login) and then change back to Win7 Look (logout-login).

If that does not work, go to startup applications, create a new entry (add) and use
name=gnome-panel
command=gnome-panel

Save, logout-login and it should be there.


If that does not work, you could try as last resort:

Code:

gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
