First a quick description of the panel configuration: Every plugin on every panel is stored in a series of properties. Then, each panel has a list of plugins on that panel, which references the central list.
What has happened here is that somehow a panel has been deleted (panel-0), but the plugin settings associated with it have been left behind. However, the .desktop files for the launchers have been deleted. Launchers are not the only type of plugin which has been orphaned in this way, there are a few others. Every plugin with ID > 11 in the xml is an orphan. I'm not sure how this happened. It doesn't seem to happen with the panel in 18.04 if you delete a panel. In order to fix this I think panel-switch will have to check where every plugin exists somewhere on a panel, and if not ignore it (ie don't save it). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765565 Title: xfpanel-switch is failing to save panel settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfpanel-switch/+bug/1765565/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
