I can confirm this too; just happens with Compiz, not with Metacity. Just click anywhere in the desktop and the bottom panel comes from the void.
Also, it's not just the bottom panel that's not visible; I have "session restore" set, and when I login, a Nautilus window I left opened at previous logout is usually not visible. Just click anywhere in the desktop and both the nautilus window (and bottom panel) are finally shown. To set/unset "session restore" go to System | Preferences | Sessions, tab Session options, check box "Automatically remember running apps when closing session" (I'm translating from Spanish). -- bottom panel not visible when desktop starts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147070 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
