Ubuntu
gnome-panel package

Why does the shut down button keep disappearing on my panel?

Asked by Michelle Walker on 2010-11-12

I'm using 10.04. One day I went to shut down the computer and the shut down button was missing from my panel. In its place was my name again...it appeared twice (both of which is now gone along with the button). I did go and add the shut down button again but just now, it was greyed out. I had to delete it and re-add the button. What's going on?

I had already tried locking the panels. Doesn't work in fact, right now the
icon for shut down is greyed out.
