Title:
  Doubling Up on Panel Causes Paralysis of all Panels

Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  I wanted to create another panel on my computer. I created one, which
  formed directly above one that I already had (at the bottom of one of
  my two screens). Just out of curiosity I asked it to autohide. That
  was a big mistake.

  Now, I am unable to right click to remove or change the panel (the
  right click menu doesn't appear). This is true for all my panels. I
  thought logging out might fix it. No luck. Restart. No luck. Now my
  "top level" panel won't load, which means I don't have access to any
  of the main menus at all.

  I resolved the issue by doing the following, but this would be
  difficult for the average user:

  1. Created a launcher for terminal: Right click on desktop, select
  create launcher, command is: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal

  2. Opened Nautilus from terminal with command: nautilus.

  3. Navigated to: .gconf/apps/panel/toplevels in the /home directory.

  4. Deleted the last panel folder; in my case: panel_3

  5. After delete, my other panels appeared and were then able to be
  edited as normal.
