Sorry, not sure what other information to provide. The panels were working last night AFAIK I didn't do anything to make them disappear. I should have mentioned in the beginning this is a Mandriva 2009 install. Gnome was launched by logging out of KDE and into Gnome. Gnome was run the first time last night. Again, I didn't, AFAIK, modify or delete any files. > Panel settings are stored in gconf. In the worst case you can probably > kill your gconfd and then delete your (~/.gconf).
