None of the launchers/programs I tried to launch are the ones now 
missing [they are not displayed]. The are ones I have successfully used 
only a few days before today. My panels are all black now and not pretty 
- why did you want me to change them and can they be changed back to 
colored and partly transparent? You are correct about using exit rather 
than the close button. But I don't want to launch programs from 
terminal, but from launchers on a panel. Is there not a way to just 
re-install the likely problematic packages, such as gnome-panel and a 
few related? On the username - yes it shows in terminal, but I had my 
old username and created another, and can enter into 14.04 using either 
- but I think they may be the same 'user' with two different names - but 
not sure. They share the same password and seem to be identical - except 
for the name.
