Bottom panel has no icons on it. The panel itself is visible, but there is nothing on it. Right clicking either panel simply shows two options: "Help" and "About Panel". Pressing Alt+f2 also does not bring up the run command; verified that this key function is in compiz.

Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

I rebooted my computer because nautilus refused to show up on my computer (It was giving me a 2.3 Gib memory leak). After I killed the process in system monitor, I could not get it to restart. I ran it with the terminal, and it came up fine, however when I close the terminal it kills the process. I tried to press Alt+f2 to run it from there, but nothing happened. I switched the run command in compiz to alt+f3 and it didn't change. I then conducted a reboot hoping it would fix itself after re-caching the system. It comes back up and everything from the nautilus worked fine, but now the alt keys commands won't work and the bottom panel doesn't disply icons. I can see the panel itself, but it doesn't show anything at all on it.

CORRECTED [SOLVED]

After several hours of just utterly exploring every single possible piece of software I had in this computer, I realized there was one I did not recognize and never used before.

System->Administrator->Lockdown Editor

Apparently this piece of software was set to disable just about everything. Every box was checked. I don't know why it decided to check itself like this, but I unchecked everything and rebooted and everything came right back up. Not a bug afterall, just a piece of software that went haywire.
