Hello,
I'm an extremely new Linux user. I have messed up my top and bottom panels on my desktop and I would like to be able to restore them to their original default settings. Can you explain to me how to accomplish this.
I did this as I was I was trying to solve the problem that everytime I iconified a terminal window, it disappeared somewhere and I could never see me iconified sessions?
Thanks for your assistence.

Which distributopn and desktop environment are you using? Gnome? KDE? Something else?

My window manager is using Gnome currently although I have the option of using KDE if I can restart X Windows system

If reseting to the defaults is okay. Move all the .gnome folders (that are in your home directory) into some temporary folder. Then log off and log back in. The .gnome folders should be recreated and you should have the default panels back. HTH.
