Corrupt MATE configuration due to OPERATOR ERROR

Show all headers | View raw

ENVIRONMENT:
    Running Debian 9.13 with MATE 1.16.3 on DELL LATITUDE E6410 laptop
    an external monitor is used via ARandR 0.1.9
    Using SeaMonkey 2.49.4 for browser and email
    Yes. Multiple rev's behind. Doing housekeeping before updating ;}

MATE with installation defaults had run fine.
Long ago I had added additional panel at top of screen to have room for 
common activities - no problem for years.

My problem is explicitly with the bottom panel only.
The *default* on installation is to display:
   1. 4 boxes on right end to select "current" workspace
   2. something for each item open/active in the *current* workspace.

PROBLEM SEQUENCE
An unwanted icon was displayed - in appearance a file opened
  by Pluma.
Did not recall having opened that file recently.
Couldn't "close" &/or "delete" it.
In frustration:
   1. right clicked on panel
   2. chose "Delete This Panel"
I don't recall if confirmation was requested - in any case panel gone!

I created a new, _apparently_ identical, panel.
*HOWEVER*
   it displays something for each item open/active in *ANY* workspace.

How do I get back to displaying something for each item open/active in 
the *CURRENT* workspace?

TIA
