Help! The bottom panel covers my entire screen!

Post by entity42 »

Somehow I resized the bottom panel to something higher than my screen size. So now the screen is just one big panel. I rebooted the PC, but the setting is stuck. I can't ssh into the PC, and none of the panel icons respond to mouse clicks. Help me recover my desktop!

You should be able to right click the panel, then choose panel settings and then define a custom hight.
Did you try that?

Right or left click anywhere doesn't do anything. ctrl-F2 works, but I don't know what that does.
