Restoring UI panels in a desktop environment
In an UI desktop environment (like MATE), if you delete the panels by mistake, here are the steps to restore it.
Try temporarily renaming the .config directory to something like .config.backup
It will get recreated on a new login. So, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to log out.
Log back in and check things out.
You can revert the above by just deleting the newly created .config directory and renaming .config.backup directory to .config
It is a process of narrowing down to find the violating file.
