Choose Add to Panel... from the menu that appears and pick the button. I'm just guessing, since I'm still on 8.04, but I think the two buttons that are missing are Quit and User Switcher. Added that OK, and finally remembered how to move it to the place I wanted. No special effects though ... until I was given a (used) flat-screen monitor by my daughters boyfriend yesterday. Fiddling with the Ubuntu hardware settings, I discovered my Nvidia driver was installed, but not activated. Now it's activated, I have everything back just as on 8.04 :) Don't know why it doesn't ask if you want to activate when you install.

I tried the new driver but had problems, so I've managed without special effects. I was using 96.45.07 - I saw that .09 was supposed to be OK, and it's in the normal repositories (ie not beta, or development etc.) so I tried it. However it only allowed up to 800x600 resolution, ugh! So I removed it, now I'm using generic - which looks like Win98, double-ugh. OK, ignore me - I've reinstalled .09. rebooted and it's OK.
