[SOLVED] LXDE - Red icon for shutdown, lock, suspend etc.

I accidentally removed this red icon from my task bar on the lower right of the screen. I don't see this listed in the add/remove panel items.

Does anyone know of a way to re-add this?

You can reset your LXDE panel to the default configuration like so.

Thanks but I seem to be missing the profile/LXDE/panels from /usr/share/lxpanel/profile/LXDE/panels.

I only have the following folders:

images
ui
xkeyboardconfig

Interesting. The default config must have been moved I guess. Do you have ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels ?
If so, try renaming that directory. That should force the generation of new panel config files.

Exactly right, that's what I did.

Steps:
1) rename LXDE folder in ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/ to LXDE2 or whatever
2) $ rm -r ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE
3) $ lxpanelctl restart
4) GOLD, lxpanel reset
