Hi Jhosh,

 Sorry about your problem.

You can easily get your panel with default settings back. Just follow the following steps:

Press Alt+F2, type ‘gnome-terminal’ without quotes and press enter.
Now execute the following command in the terminal:
gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel

Now execute the following command in terminal to remove all the panel’s settings:
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel

Now kill the gnome-panel:
pkill gnome-panel

The panels will be gone now. Load them back by executing:
gnome-panel &

However, if you close the terminal, gnome-panel will also be closed since terminal is the parent process of the panel. It will be fine once you reboot your computer.

Can you help with this problem?
