My panels are messed up on Ubuntu. Whenever I try to "add to panel" to an empty panel, it just dies and restarts the panels. I've tried all the tutorials online on how to fix this to no avail. So... Is it possible to reinstall Ubuntu on my existing computer and keep all my programs? I other words:I just want to reset all settings, not change any of my personal files/programs. Thanks

Before you reinstall, create a new account. Log in using the new account, and see if the problem still exists. If it doesn't, chances are you have a messed up config file somewhere. Using the messed up account, make a holding directory, and move all config files & directories into it, and then copy things over from the good account. You can then try restoring existing configs one at a time to see where the problem is. | |||

Do not reinstall Ubuntu yet, here are the two links that could help you: Basically the solution should be to delete the config directory: login/logout and the default settings should be up. | |||
