traditional GNOME desktop panel and taskbar
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
gnome-panel [options]
DESCRIPTION
gnome-panel provides the classic GNOME 2-style panel used by the GNOME Flashback session. It hosts the application menu, window list, system tray, clock, notification area, workspace switcher, and any number of applets (PanelApplets), arranged across one or more screen-edge panels. Layouts, applets, and applet preferences are stored in dconf under /org/gnome/gnome-panel/.The panel is launched automatically when a user logs into the GNOME Flashback session; --replace stops a running instance and starts a fresh one, useful after editing configuration or installing new applets.
PARAMETERS
--replace

CAVEATS
Part of GNOME Flashback. Modern GNOME (3.x and later) uses gnome-shell instead, which does not load gnome-panel applets. Requires a working DBus session bus, gnome-settings-daemon, and the panel's GSettings schemas.
HISTORY
gnome-panel was the main GNOME 2 panel, now maintained as part of GNOME Flashback for users preferring the classic desktop paradigm.
