Same with Zorin 6.3 x32 (This is actually a AWN issue but hopefully we can get help here)

Hi,

if you want things to stay in the top panel, first create a desktop icon and drag it to the top from there, then delete the desktop icon afterwards, that works for me!!.

Hi Hazz,

let us know if it works for you.

Don't forget that AWN is no longer maintained and the devs are using their own version afaik!!.

Hi Hazz,

I forgot to mention that you should do a restart to make sure they stick to the top panel just to be sure!.

Ok my 'bad'...my confusion between 'DockBarX' and 'LauncherTaskmanager' and what each was suppose to do.

LauncherTaskmanager was NOT there in the task bar, therefore wasn't retaining the pinned applications.....all is good now once LTm

Hi,

Hazz has sorted his problem out, are you still having problems?, you can check out the post install guide for more info about what Hazz mentioned and the "Launcher Taskmanager":

For a top panel should you want one, the only item you need to add to the active applets box is "Launcher/Taskmanager" then you can drag any icons to the top panel that you need.
