Bug Description

If there is a panel without the notification bar that a right click option would be available on the desktop to restore panels.

Or

Change the "Change desktop background" to be properties and take that to an app to change background and restore desktop to default settings or something (MAKE SURE TO REQUIRE PASSWORD as this would be quite annoying if someone did this as a prank)

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

There is no easy/simple fix for this, Hence not a papercut.

A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

For resolution of the bug ,Kindly report it upstream.(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)
