Taskbar is broken

For a while I had a Peek-a-boo taskbar that appeared in full flower while my Trisquel 7 installation was booting up but would then disappear after my authentication was accepted. I managed to create a new taskbar in an attempt to restore a working panel, but many icons that I formerly had (WiFi, remaining battery charge, bluetooth, etc.) I have not been able to find or restore, and now I find that clicking on the minus (-) button in the upper right hand corner of the screen of any given application makes it drop into oblivion, right through the existing taskbar, even though the application is still running. This is completely unacceptable, as only some applications have the ability to restore a recently closed session (such as kate).
Where is there a coherent explanation of the process for recreating a taskbar that reflects the current Trisquel setup ?
I use GNOME Shell. That is why I believe the configuration of gnome-panel must be standard:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout object-id-list
['menu-bar', 'home', 'abrowser', 'window-list', 'notification-area', 'indicators', 'show-desktop']
I guess some of those "applets" are missing from your panel. You can add them after a "Alt+Right click" (or is it "Windows+Right click"?) on the panel.

Here's what I get with "gsettings get org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout object-id-list":
['object-0-8', 'object-0-9', 'object-0-10', 'object-0-11']
Note: there actually are four objects in my panel now: [clock, Trisquel logo, earth logo, and hide all windows]. Is there a list identifying the "objects" that the terminal returns with my query ?
> "Alt+Right click","Windows+Right click",
... and just "right click" on the panel
All produce the same set of choices (add to panel, properties, and new panel) which I have long since exhausted, because they do not include "['menu-bar', 'home', 'abrowser', 'window-list', 'notification-area', 'indicators', 'show-desktop']" or what appears on the Peek-a-boo panel that vanishes after my password has been accepted. Sigh.
As an example: I entered a URL in kate and then proceeded to another webpage; when I tried to return to kate to add another URL, the unsaved file vanished without a warning and would not return when I opened another instance of kate.

They are under org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout.objects in dconf. You can use the dconf editor that comes by default.

Well, they should be there. Maybe under other names (maybe "notification area").
Also posted elsewhere in this forum: The key to getting the missing icons back is the "Indicator Applet Complete" which is easily added once its identity is revealed. The icons in that applet include a battery charge indicator, bluetooth, clock, WiFi, temperature (very handy to monitor the progress of a panorama job), volume, and on/off, etc.
