Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
My Gnome-Panel got corrupted do to this bug:
https:/
Why is there no option, by right-clicking the top-panel, to reset the panel back to a "fresh installation default" state?
I know there are other ways to do this, perhaps at the command line, but this is something that needs to be in the GUI.
Normally, when this happens, I do the following steps
(1) Go to the "Places" menu.
(2) Click on "Home Folder".
(3) Press Ctrl-H, to display hidden folders.
(4) Navigate to then delete this folder: /home/UserName/
(5) Logout, then log back in.
No new user could be expected to know this, so this is usability bug.
Furthermore, one negative aspect of this method of repairing the panel, is that I lose any launchers and applets I've added to the panel previously. So, the reset feature I'm proposing should provide (by default probably), the ability to maintain the list of launchers and applets you created previous, but put them in the "fresh install type order".
If you have any question, you my call me (toll free)
