I made the same mistake – on CentOS, 5.4
These instructions work a treat

Thanks for this post… By accident, I deleted the top bar and I was going crazy wondering how to restore…

I searched Google and found this post and it worked like a charm… I am using 9.10…

Thank you…

@nickrud: hi. im new to this whole ubuntu/linux thingy. and i accidentally deleted my top panel. i tried what you guys said. it didn't work. im wondering if i put it in incorrectly. this is what i put. >>
owner@owner-desktop:~$ gconftool-2 –shutdown
owner@owner-desktop:~$ rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
owner@owner-desktop:~$ pkill gnome-panel
<<<
is that correct?

HOORAY! Worked like a charm, I killed my panel trying to help someone get theirs back (good thing I know some hot keys… and now I will create a few desktop launchers). We're both reset and ready to go back to tinkering!

Ubuntu 9.10 & 9.10 remix here.

Cheers!

Thanks! I had added four or five instances of the weather applet, just for fun. The only problem was that half the time I booted up the panel was just blank. Resetting worked.

Thank you VERY much. Ubuntu 9.04 (holding out until the bugs are worked out of 9.10). Deleted top panel, was surprised how much returned after doing this.
