How do I put the web broser back where it was, next to the home folder? I made a copy of the web browser launcher too ... I'd like to remove the extra. Help?

You should be able to press ALT+Super+right-click and then move one of
them. Then do ALT+Super+right-click and delete the duplicate one.

This happened to me before as well, it is rather annoying.

Yes, same thing happened to me. I then discovered that on a Macs track pad, you need to use two fingers to right click.

If you tend to accidentally alter the panel, it can be locked down with

gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-panel.lockdown locked-down true

Do you mean ALT-Shift-Right-click? I tried it and it didn't do anything. It just responds the same way it does by Right-clicking. I get two options: one that says Launch and the other says Properties. I can't delete it through Properties, so I am lost.

No, he means super. That's the one with the windows logo probably...

OK, thank you. I tried that key combination, but it still didn't do anything different from right-clicking.

Is there a terminal command I can use to delete a launcher from the panel?

@alguien: If you have an Apple keyboard, it's the left alt/option + command + right-click on the panel combination. If not, just try another two shift/control/alt/command key + right-click combo until you find what works for you.

Thanks! Turns out the working combination for me is Super + Alt + right click. :)
