Ubuntu
gnome-panel package

multiple consoles option disappeared

Asked by Commodore Hairy

Running Ubuntu 10.10 after my latest upgrade the multiple console selection windows in the corner of the screen has disappeared. Now I can only run one screen session at a time.
I used to be able to open a screen (window or console) on the monitor eg Open Office, click another console and open another applications such as Evolution and switch back and forth with just a click of the mouse. Now I have to minimize and stay in the same console.

I have had a very simular issue of top & bottom bars disappearing in 10.10 - will post a script to reset in a few minutes - but any assistance to fix may help!

Try running these commands in Terminal to reset your Top & Button Bars:

gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel
