Changing the theme just helped me out for a moment as the bug reappeared after a reboot/restart.
Additionally I tried to apply an automated restore of the genome panel defaults with an script, based on BitHacker's tool (se: http://bithacker.blogspot.com/2010/05/restore-default-gnome-panels-in-ubuntu.html). Here's my mod which disabled all questions and restores both the top and the bottom panel: ---- #!/bin/sh # Originally from: PanelRestore # # GNOME Panel Save / Restore # Writen by PhrankDaChicken # # http://ubuntu.online02.com # # # Updated to add restore defaults by jimjimovich # http://www.starryhope.com # # # Modified to be Autostart capable by: # Michl Schmid # Allgaeuer Kraftwerke GmbH # Am Alten Bahnhof 10 # # D-87521 Sonthofen # # mailto:m.sch...@allgaeukraft.de # http://www.allgaeukraft.de # gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel pkill gnome-panel ---- The problem herein is that the tool only works properly as long as it's started "after" the GNOME Desktop has been completely started. Right now I haven't found the right position in the GNOME autostart chain to launch the modified script automatically, yet. Hope someone finds a solution in the near future... :-) -- Panel utilities not shown on startup using Matrox gfx with compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
