Sys tray gone

13.1 xfce.

It wasn't broke so I didn't try and fix it.
I rebooted and when I came back, my sys tray [task bar] was gone.
Can't figure out what happened nor how to get it back.
Any idea's?

You can get it back by running

Code: Select all

xfce4-panel &
at the command line. If you have Xfce set to save your configuration it should survive a reboot and work from then on.

What happened? There just isn't enough info in your post to even venture a guess.

Thx C. That worked.
What happened?
No clue what happened. I closed Firefox then decided to check my email, which requires FF of course. A window kept popping up saying FF was already running, which it wasn't. After the third try I decided to simply reboot to break all connections, since I hadn't rebooted in 4 - 5 days anyway.
It did take awhile for the reboot process to actually start.
When I came back, the panel was gone.
Couldn't even get anything through the panel icon in the settings menu.
It was like the plugin was broken or maybe even removed.
I kinda need it because I keep tools there as well as windows condensed down in it.
Thx again.
