upgrade 12.10, launcher bar no app tabs

Asked by Denis White

After upgrading to 12.10, I have a launcher bar at the bottom of the screen but apps do not show up in tabs there, thus I cannot minimize and relaunch.

If you right click the panel, can you add items there? If so, add the 'window picker' (If memory serves) item and it should appear.

There is no response from a right click in the panel.

Same here with gnome classic or gnome-classic (no effects).
While coming up the app menu line appears briefly at bottom (very quickly vanishes)
then moves to top line leaving the useless white line at bottom that won't show
minimized apps. Minimized apps vanish though (for example a terminal app) the
minimized bash
shells are still running owned by gnome-terminal per ps -eaf , just not usable.
