You can try to download the tar file from Gnome-look (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/NameBar?content=101643)

Great Link! The Alt-Left Click drag for dialog boxes is one of the best tips I’ve read recently.

Loved the “13 ways…” – didn’t use all of them, but many were useful

In 10.04 you can disable the touchpad when typing from the Mouse app in System -> Preferences.

First of all, this post is based on Ubuntu Karmic, so I assumed that you are still using UNR on Karmic.

You can get it to restore to the default setting by removing the .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity folder in your Home directory. (beware, this will wipe all your app and display setting, but it won’t break your system)

To use the default Ubuntu interface, logout and choose “Gnome” as the session in the login page.

i removed the whole panel. It now only had files and folders. Any idea how to get back the previous panel?
Also is it possible to remove the whole thing and have a menu like in normal ubuntu?

I can't get ubuntu 10.4 to save any custom startup programs, such as the touchpad disable in #12. When I logout and check my startup programs, it's not saved. Any ideas? Thanks.

I solved it, thanks. It was my mistake actually. I hadn't done the killall command step. After that, the applet appeared in the list. Also, the window picker IS available for restoration from the list, the thing is that in spanish it comes as 'Selector de ventanas', which is pretty much a direct translation but I hadn't seen it.

I am not sure why your panel only left the calendar and shutdown, but you should be able to re-add all the applet to the panel. Simply right-click on the panel and select “Add to Panel”.

Sorry about the previous comment, I didn't read enough first… But now that I'm in gnome session all the apps on the right are gone exept calendar and shutdown…
