My things are happening.....I tried to change [or even see] the setting 
for the background on the panel[s]. I hit the two keys and right mouse 
button and ALL panels disappeared. Then I tried, as above, and with 
great difficulty navigated [as in /usr/bin they were not in strict 
alphabetical order and kept moving around too. Finally found gnome-panel 
and double clicked and entire desktop [except background image] are now 
gone - although the thunderbird program I had open is still [and only 
thing] here. Can't right click on background and no terminal can be had 
with Alt-Ctr-T. What do I try next? Did I not change the settings of 
background to 'none' because there was no visible 'save' option? Will I 
have to live with default panels forever?

Title:
  Gnome Fallback[s] don't work in 14.04. Work once ONLY if reinstalled

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

Bug description:
  While the computer is saying its a problem with gnome-panel, I keep
  re-installing gnome-session-fallback. It will work [in either flavor
  of fallback (no idea why there are now two!) ONE TIME - but the next
  time I get a screen with NO panels and NO keyboard shortcuts are
  recognized (so I can't even get a terminal). All I can do is hard
  shut-down of computer; restart into gnome or unity or some others
  (which I do NOT like to use!). I have done this MANY times now. It
  never stays 'done'. Am going back to my  copy ov 12.04 until someone
  can tell me why or how to make one of the fallbacks (hopefully both)
  work every time I sign in to 14.04. Thank you. Anyone else having
  similar problems? The only other thing I can think of is that I
  upgraded from 12.04 in which fallback operated just fine and was
  stable.
