Xubuntu: Restoring the notifcation area in xfce4

Question

While playing with xfce4 (on Xubuntu) I accidentally removed the notification area which is placed by default in the right of the top panel. Is there a way to restore it back to it's original state without diving into the process of adding, placing and adjusting icons?

EDIT

Actually, I'm looking for restoring the notification area to it's default original state by restoring its state "meta data" stored in the my /home directory, how can I accomplish that with the command line? Where should I go and what should I restore?

Thanks

Answer 1

It's just one widget, so you can just add the Notification Area panel item using the Panel configuration. You can drag-and-drop it in XFCE4 in versions prior to 4.8. With 4.8 you there is a + putton in the Items tab.

Answer 2

From the command line, try moving ~/.config/xfce4/panel to another directory (e.g. ~/tmp/): mkdir -p ~/tmp; mv ~/.config/xfce4/panel ~/tmp/.

But a more "safe" way would be to create a new panel (right click on the panel and choose "Customize Panel...". From there, create a new panel with the appearance and position of the one you have now. When that has been created, delete the first panel.
