Top panel randomly freezes in Gnome 3 fallback + Xmonad.

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I run Xmonad within a Gnome 3 fallback session.Whenever I'm resuming from suspend, the top panel applets disappear until after 3-5 minutes.If my battery is low, the battery applet shows an empty gauge. However, after charging to 100% (confirmed by tooltip hover) the gauge still shows the battery as empty. Network applet wifi shows 0% connection despite otherwise.Sometimes only half applets are shown. I can still hover and see the tooltips, but the top panel doesn't always get drawn correctly. I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this issue. AncientPC https://bbs.arch (HowTos)

Stories similar to Top panel randomly freezes in Gnome 3 fallback + Xmonad.

with gnome-fallback and classic gnome shell, we had gnome applets available, but not in Unity. There was a system monitoring applet there that I could see may CPU and network bandwith used. I'm pretty sure that I can not have the same applets in Unity, at least not yet, from Can I use GNOME applets in Unity?.

People always say network manager icon,sound icon,or other applets is losing from the gnome-panel and want how to get the icon back.Despite these icons’ missing may be caused by series reasons,the first solution come to my mind is add them back by “Add to Panel” in right-click on panel menu.

All these icons can be re-added onto the gnome-panel,so we just need to know what’

I would like to remove an applet from the GNOME applet panel (the Gwibber applet, to be precise). Is this possible? If so, would any techniques also apply to other applets that other programs may place there?

Hi there,

I have a CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD UPS plugged into my computer via USB.

It used to be gnome-power-manager or something of that sort, but now I can't seem to find it. When I run gnome-session from within awesome, it loads all the applets, i.e. nm-applet and the keyboard layout switcher, yet it doesn't load the battery applet, and so I'd like to launch it with a command.

Hello again:

I'm a bit confused about gnome-fallback and gnome-panel. My Ubuntu-Tweak (from tualatrix) says I'm using gnome-fallback as DE:

I remember I installed gnome 3, which comes with gnome-fallback. But I also have installed gnome-panel (I see it marked at Ubuntu Software Center). Could you explain to me the difference? Or it's the same.

Hi, I am new to using Linux. I recently installed Lubuntu 12.04 on my laptop.

There is a batter monitor applet that can be added to the panel.

The All in One Deskbar Applet 2 years 43 weeks ago

Have you ever gone through the items listed in the "add to panel" option? If not, then you are missing one of the finest GNOME features. It has a great number of some really useful applets. I just ran into one of them, Deskbar applet and believe me, when they say its an "all in one" tool they are not kidding.

Do you actually need the second GNOME panel at the bottom? Or is it just taking up precious screen space?

Those are one of the questions I asked myself today. Having two panels, in my opinion, is just too much (get it?). All of the applets at the bottom fit perfectly at the top and removing the extra panel also holds various advantages like:
