Reset gnome panel for 15.04

Asked by EricDHH

Howto reset the gnome panel in Ubuntu Mate 15.04 to default? Old solutions with folder removal, dconf and gconf did not work in 15.04, old home directories produce messed up panels.

Now i see what's wrong, this must be really new.

eric@tethys:~$ dconf reset -f /org/gnome/gnome-panel/
eric@tethys:~$ killall gnome-panel
gnome-panel: Kein Prozess gefunden

Gnome panel got a new name in the Mate desktop.

eric@tethys:~$ gnome-panel --replace &
