Re: XFCE4 without panels

[Roland Mueller <roland.em0001@googlemail.com>]

XFCE4 panel ca be manually recreated by (as far as I remember) right-clicking into empty desktop space and then opening settings.

Other option is mentioned here: https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/getting-started:

Quote: "The panel will usually be started automatically as part of your Xfce session when you start the Xfce Desktop Environment. 

To manually start the panel, you can run xfce4-panel in a terminal."

After starting the new panel you should able to add items and these should appear the next time you start XFCE desktop.

I just tried this in a VM and it seemed to work.

>From a command line:
xfce4-panel -q
find ~/.config | grep panel

Remove the xfce4-panel.xml   (I also removed the empty directory just
named panel.)

The lack of panels seems to have survived a reboot.

I don't know if it is sufficient for every variation involving saving
session state or what not.  But might get you started in the right
direction.

If worst comes to pass, you might be able to put the xfce4-panel -q
command in a shell script that automatically launches when you log in.

Good luck!
