** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-panel
  
  My Gnome-Panel got corrupted do to this bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/476151
  
  Why is there no option, by right-clicking the top-panel, to reset the
  panel back to a "fresh installation default" state?
  
  I know there are other ways to do this, perhaps at the command line, but
  this is something that needs to be in the GUI.
  
  Normally, when this happens, I do the following steps
  
  (1) Go to the "Places" menu.
- (2) Press Ctrl-H, to display hidden folders.
- (3) Navigate to then delete this folder:    /home/UserName/.gconf/apps/panel
- (4) Logout, then log back in.
+ (2) Click on "Home Folder".
+ (3) Press Ctrl-H, to display hidden folders.
+ (4) Navigate to then delete this folder:    /home/UserName/.gconf/apps/panel
+ (5) Logout, then log back in.
  
  No new user could be expected to know this, so this is usability bug.
  
  Furthermore, one negative aspect of this method of repairing the panel,
  is that I lose any launchers and applets I've added to the panel
  previously. So, the reset feature I'm proposing should provide (by
  default probably), the ability to maintain the list of launchers and
  applets you created previous, but put them in the "fresh install type
  order".
