Comment 31 for bug 769644

Same as described in #17. None of the lxpanelctl commands work for me; neither from the terminal, nor from keybindings.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and installed the lubuntu-desktop metapackage to test the DE. My version of the lxpanel package is the newest one from the standard repository, i.e. 0.5.8+git20120212-0ubuntu3. I have not touched the default WM openbox, the package version of which is 3.5.0-2ubuntu2.

Maybe the following output is helpful in any way:

~$ xwininfo -tree -root
xwininfo: Window id: 0x15d (the root window) (has no name)
  Root window id: 0x15d (the root window) (has no name)
  Parent window id: 0x0 (none)
     [...]
    -0x1200003 "lxpanel": () 10x10+-100+-100 +-100+-100
    -0x1200001 "lxpanel": ("lxpanel" "Lxpanel") 10x10+10+10 +10+10
        [...]
      --0x1200002 (has no name): () 1x1+-1+-1 +9+9
     [...]
    -0xe00100 (has no name): () 1920x24+0+0 +0+0
        [...]
       --0x120001d "panel": ("panel" "lxpanel") WIDTHx24+0+0 +0+0

Where WIDTH is simply my monitors width. (The - signs were added by me to make inheritance/level in the tree visible more easily.)
It seems quite peculiar to me that the window "panel" seems to have an alias(?) of some sort named "lxpanel", while two(!?) other windows named "lxpanel" exist. Even more peculiar to me is that semingly the window "panel" is the lxpanel, as it has the appropriate size. Also all these Windows are unrelated except for the common descendence from the root window. From a complete laymans perspective I figure this might be vaguely related to the problem. I apologize if I am completely off the mark.
