How to restore Ubuntu gnome panel and menu items

As simple as:

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

If you want to restore, in example, Games menu from Applications, you have to:

cd ~/.config/menus
vim applications.menu

and then remove (in my case) Deleted node:

        <Menu>
                 <Name>Games</Name>
                 <Exclude>
                         <Filename>mahjongg.desktop</Filename>
                 </Exclude>
                 <AppDir>/home/chris/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
                <!-- remove this node </Deleted> -->
         </Menu>

Chosing java-6-sun instead of OpenJDK on Ubuntu

I was disappointed when I figured out that Vuze didn’t work anymore after having upgraded to Lucid Lynx. So I launched the program in the shell and I discovered it couldn’t find some Swing stuff for creating the GUI. Back to Java Sun 6, so:

chris@sirio:~$ sudo update-java-alternatives -l
java-6-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
chris@sirio:~$ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
