Accidentally deleted my panel menu.

Post by pompom »

I know how to get the panel menu back, the problem is when I try to move it back to its original place (far left) it doesn't want to. I've made sure the panel is unlocked when I try moving it, it just seems to be fighting me constantly, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, any help would be very much appreciated. I'll check back in tomorrow and hopefully someone can help me out.

Thank you.

just a guess, you are using cinnamon.
drag the menu icon all the way left before release.

I'm using XFCE. Yeah I'm dragging the menu icon all the way over but when I release it just goes back to where it was. Like I said before I have no idea if I'm doing something wrong or maybe its a bug with XFCE?

Do as woaf said to execute xfce4-panel --preferences or right-click on panel>Panel>Panel Preferences.
