So I have read many threads on various forums and tried all the prescribed key combinations to remove a panel.
I have tried installing both dconf-editor and gconf-editor to change the key located at /desktop/gnome/session/required_components but the key does not exist, or is just not showing up in the editors, not sure.
Have also tried using killall gnome-panel but there is no running process by this name.
I have also tried using the following command in terminal:
gconftool-2 --type=string --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/panel 'avant-window-navigator', but it only created a key and made no changes to the system.
I am a bit new to linux so there is probably something I am missing, but I cannot find it. I am running 12.04LTS and have tried all of these methods after logging into both "Gnome" and "Gnome Classic" sessions.
