Restore Gnome Default Panels

Many times we screw our gnome desktop panels accidentally. I found a very easy solution to revert them.
Just open terminal and type.

gconftool-2 --shutdown
gconftool  --recursive-unset /apps/panel
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel

But remember this is not the case when gnome panels get scrambled automatically (Which seems to be a consistent case in Ubutnu 10.04). You can simple refresh you gnome panels by doing.

killall gnome-panel

Gimp – The ultimate

I am not new user of gimp, but I am also not a power user of gimp too. Recently I was creating a poster for a office event. I used script-fu -> alpha-to-logo scripts. I have to say that gimp is ultimate. I created a animated blinking neon light GIF of my name.

Gimp is more then enough for any casual user. There is no reason it cant be used as a professional tool.
