I´ve upgraded to 13.04, and installed classic gnome via gnome-session-fallback.

I can't edit the panels. Right-clicking does nothing, with or without alt, win, or ctrl.

How can I add/remove widgets and bars?

Bizarrely enough, Meta Alt RightClick shows the old and trusty panel menu.

  • If your system is a VirtualBox machine you have to disable mouse pointer integration for this combination to work. This applies at least to my system combinations: Host: Ubuntu 12.04, VirtualBox: 4.1.26, Guest additions installed, Guest: Ubuntu 13.04 Raring in Gnome 3 classic mode – Nicolas Jun 25 '13 at 23:07
  • In my VirtualBox machine (without disabling pointer integration), I must press Alt and then Meta keys, before right clicking (Meta and then Alt, doesn't work) – greuze Nov 20 '14 at 12:24
  • Remember to disable the annotates via CCSM otherwise the keycombo will not work – PvdL Jun 04 '15 at 10:49

rename ~/.gconf/apps/panel folder and reboot.

When you log back in, you should get the default panels and settings back.

  • No such directory in `~/.gconf/apps`. Just an xml, `gnome-terminal` and `nm-applet` – salezica May 29 '13 at 16:40
  • @uʍopǝpısdn search in ubuntu software center for `gnome-panel`, remove and install again – mf_ May 29 '13 at 16:47
  • `gnome-panel` cannot be removed without also removing `gnome-session-fallback`. This would be very destructive. How would it help exactly? By creating the folder so I can rename it? I don't understand where you're taking me – salezica May 29 '13 at 17:14
  • `meta+alt+right click` works. This is not a good answer. If I didn't know what I was doing, things could've gone wrong. This is not how StackExchange works. Next time, be sure you know the answer before posting, please – salezica May 29 '13 at 17:17
