    Lost BOTH panels

    I tried a program called BarPanel, which replaces the Gnome Panels. The installation instructions told me to download the program installer (the program installs automatically for Debian/Ubuntu users). Then I had to go to System > Preferences > Sessions to remove the gnome-panel entry and add the BarPanel one. So far so good. On re-starting, the new panels were installed to my desk top in bright green! The problem was that a lot of the icons don't work. The action menu does nothing and there is no entry for Sessions in the System menu, so I can't go back and undo. I have re-installed gnome-panel under Synaptic, without any success. I un-installed BarPanel, so I now don't have any panels at all now! One good thing is that I have Cairo-dock on my desktop, so I have access to several programs, including the terminal.

    Can someone out there give me the command line instructions to get the gnome panels back – please?

    Easy when you know how. Thanks for the help. I spent some time pressing alt and F2 until I realised I had to be in the terminal (well, I'm allowed to be thick at my age). After that everything came back fine. Thanks again
