Deleted default panel

Ok, I accidentally deleted my default panel that comes with trisquel. Is there a way to reload the factory settings?
You can (re)move some hidden file (i.e., whose name starts with dot) inside your home directory. More precisely, I believe the configuration for the GNOME panel is in a subdirectory of ~/.config (if you remove the whole ~/.config directory, many application will come back to their default settings).
What happens if it doesn't? What would I lose?
I went ahead and did the delete of .config and after reboot everything was back. Thanks!!
I just went through the same sort of crisis: I inadvisedly removed gvfs, which caused this error on the next restart: "can't find trisquel-session." You don't want to see _that_ all of a sudden.
Fortunately, I had saved the terminal output during my removal of gvfs, and so I rebooted into the console by hitting Contr+Alt+F1 at the Plymouth screen instead of typing my password, called up the save file, and used sudo apt-get install on all the previously removed packages.
Now things are back to normal and I have my GUI again. Whew.
This shouldn't even be possible- the GUI shouldn't allow you delete the last
remaining panel, only create new ones from it. How did you achieve this,
exactly?
Response to moxalt:
Don't try this at home without saving a copy of the Terminal output: "sudo apt-get remove gvfs" in Terminal.
That innocuous command does a lot more than you might think:
sudo apt-get remove gvfs

Afterwards, upon rebooting, the Plymouth screen reappears with its choice of User vs. Guest and a box for [password] After that, it simply replies "session not found."
