I just had a strange experience, here is what happened:

- My computer accidentally shut down as the computer became unplugged
- I am not sure if I accidentally hid the task bar?

Regardless my task bar disappeared...not sure I am using the right term but 
I am refering to the bar, on my desktop, it was ontop of the screen. This 
task bar had icons for my wifi, battery, clock, etc...

I can only access my templates by left clicking on my desktop...

If my memory serves me right, I control this via the "panel" however when I 
go to:
Applications -> System Tools->Panel

I get an error "Failed to show the preference dialog - 
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name is not 
activatable"

I found this solution:
https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/failed-to-show-preferences-dialogue/10087

Which brought the panel back...strange. Never had this before...

This was the solution provided on the link above:

Actually, this is the solution
@Qubes_User171 <https://forum.qubes-os.org/u/qubes_user171> should start 
terminal in dom0, execute xfce4-panel. Panel will show up. Then it is 
needed forcibly to close the terminal regardless of the warning. The panel 
will disappear and reappear in a flash second. It usually happens when 
using context menu while on panel which somehow triggers closing the panel 
without the warning. 


Newbie question but what command do I type in Dom0 to "execute"? Do I need 
to do something when they say "Then it is needed forcibly to close the 
terminal regardless of the warning."?

Thanks...
