Gnome Task Bar Disappeared

[kurifu]

This is the second time it has happened, the GNOME task bar on my user account isn't there when I log in, I don't know how to get it back either, which is obviously a problem. Recreating and deleting my user account is one hell of a nuissance to get it back.

Anyway have any suggestions? Is there something I can run on command line to start the task bar and maybe get it back? This would at least be a good start for me, and I am just not sure what I am looking for.

Ok it seems running gnome-panel will bring them back.

I'm seeing this as well on F8 with Compiz Fusion. The process is running when I login, but I noticed that if I kill gnome-panel, it will automatically reappear, although with a different client ID:

$ ps -ef |grep gnome-panel
500       2673  2545  0 07:51 ?        00:00:00 gnome-panel --sm-client-id default2
500       3154  3079  0 07:57 pts/0    00:00:00 grep gnome-panel
$ killall gnome-panel 
$ ps -ef |grep gnome-panel
500       3178  2545 27 07:57 ?        00:00:00 gnome-panel --sm-client-id 117f000001000119884631500000025450001 --screen 0
500       3188  3079  0 07:57 pts/0    00:00:00 grep gnome-panel

Love to get some resolution to this. If you all think I should raise a BZ, I'll do so.
