lost the lower panel
I'm using U-Lite. The installation is about a week old. I logged in and the lower panel is missing.

Re: lost the lower panel
Take a look in .config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels and see if any of the files look corrupted, like part is obviously missing. They aren't rocket science to see how they are organized.
Re: lost the lower panel
Thanks for the reply Marty Jack.
The panels directory only had a "top" file and no "bottom". I deleted the"top" file, and then deleted the "panels" directory and then rebooted. Now both panels are once again present.
An unrelated question: Everything looks somewhat out of focus and is hard on the eyes. This is the case no matter what monitor I use. Is this a characteristic of LXDE? The monitors I've tried only go up to 85Hz (at 1024 x 768), but usually an 85 Hz display isn't this hard to look at.

LXDE doesn't do a thing to mess with your screen. This is one of the design philosophies -- we don't do anything behind your back that you don't explicitly ask for.
Try looking in /var/log/Xorg.0.log where it derives the monitor resolution -- and check with xrandr -- to see if maybe your display isn't at the resolution/refresh rate you were hoping for.

The cause of the blurriness turned out to be the three cheap CRT monitors I had tried. When I used a higher quality Dell Trinitron it looked fine, even at 85Hz. Thanks again.
