How do you change the Position of a Panel in 11.04?

Asked by Melinda

I've tried the following instructions below and it does not work. A panel can be placed in one of four different locations on the desktop: the top, bottom, far left or far right of the desktop. The positions of the standard top and bottom panels are locked by default. To unlock these panels so that they may be relocated, right click on the panel and select Allow panel to be moved from the popup menu. Once unlocked, there are two ways to change the position of an Ubuntu GNOME Desktop panel. By far the easiest method is to simply click with the left hand mouse button on the panel you wish to relocate and drag it to the new location.

My question is "How do you change the Position of a Panel in 11.04"? I want to move the panel that's currently on the top of my desktop to the bottom. If possible I would also like to also move or remove the "launcher panel" on the left hand side.

Please open a terminal and type:

gdmsetup

please select Ubuntu classic (no effects) to have back your Classical Ubuntu desktop environment, the logout and login back
