Hi 
My top panel went missing in SliTaz 4.0. How do i get it back? This has happened ebfore but then it was a fairly ancient machine so i was expecting problems. This machine is only old not quite ancient yet.
I found how to get the bottom one back if that went missing but the top one doesn't seem to work the same way.
Thanks and regards from

You have to modify Panel Preferences for both the top and bottom panel or the unchanged panel won't reappear.
To bring back both panels:
rm ~/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels/*
For user tux:
rm /home/tux/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels/*
Logout/in X session
Make configuration change to both top and bottom panels.
For the panel I normally wouldn't modify I increase or decrease Height or Icon one pixel
This sets a config files panel and bottom in panels folder.
Both modified panels will now load.

Hi
rm = remove?
When i tried it on a LiveCd of SliTaz i got the error messages
"
tux@slitaz:~$ rm ~/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels
rm: /home/tux/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels: is a directory
tux@slitaz:~$ rm /home/tux/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels
rm: /home/tux/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels: is a directory
"
Sorry it has taken me sooo long to reply!

Typo, forgot this *
The rm command removes the user configuration file.
To bring back both panels:
rm ~/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels/*
For user tux:
rm /home/tux/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels/*
Logout/in X session

I actually have the opposite question (though I had the same problem-thanks!):
I would like to to remove lxpanel from a user account and restrict access so that users can only run firefox (in kiosk mode using rKiosk(?)) from an icon on the desktop or logout.
I would also like to run it using PXE in order to centralize my configuration. (unless there is a better option of course.)
I also need the ability to restrict access to a single site.
In short I'm making a set of Linux (Slitaz) based kiosks and need to lock almost everything out.
General Specs (just FYI as I haven't had any problems running it thus far):
These are old Dell Optiplex 540s/745s most with just 1 Gig of RAM or 512MB.
Pentium 4 or Core Duos at 1.3Ghz
All should be Network bootable.
-please let me know if I should post this else-where.
Thanks!

Just remove or comment out the line that starts lxpanel from the Auto Started Applications (openbox's autostart.sh)

Thanks for the tip. Again apologies for asking what is probably an obvious question. No doubt I will have many more.
Thanks again!

For me it was the bottom panel ... this fixed it as well. What makes them go away? It seemd that all I did was log out and back in and poof it was gone ...
I think that happened to me after i tried to edit and modify it somewhat.
I think it is a bug in lxde but i might be wrong
