need to defer starting or hide of gnome panel

Mr.J · 07-09-2008, 12:33 AM

When system boots up, I need to defer creation of gone panel (task bar)
can any body tell me how ?

Or somebody can tell me how to hide and unhide (not auto hide) using command line at run time.

I think you can simply delete the panel. What do you want to achieve exactly?

If I kill panel then it respawns automatically. Actually I want to use linux machine as a client. on Machine user will login with autologin mode then an other script will be excuted that will do secondary authentication, after that only user is supposed to get access to machine... but task bar panel appears....just after login...so I need to either hide it or needs to defer the start of this panel.

I think you can right-click on the panel and choose "delete this panel" or something like that.

I am not using gnome regularly though.
