Hardly believe you are serious, deleting the panel so the OS is
unusable is a feature, right we cannot have enough of that kind
of features.

Apart from that, I did not delete my panel, twice!, I wanted to remove
a launcher from the panel and the panel disappeared.
This happened to others too, all wondering what they did to make the panel
disappear, something that shouldn't be possible at all or at the very
least not without being admin. Yet is happens.

The create a new one workaround didn't work either, in mate it created
other problems, in XFCE I couldn't find a solution at all.
Related BUG!!!! no matter if someone like to call it a feature..
my network manager applet is gone.

ps This kind of annoyance never happened to ME in releases 19 of before
and although I am not as ignorant as some to therefore "conclude" such
problems didn't exist before, they obviously did, still remarkable that
in recent releases it happened to me a couple of times in succession.
