Removing applets from Gnome Panel / Resetting Gnome Panel

So, I was adding applets to my panel and there was one that was messed up. I looked in the gconf-editor and noticed a ton of the applets that I was adding but they were not showing on the panel so I couldn’t delete them. Well, if you want to delete panel applets that you can’t see then open up gconf-editor and navigate to apps/panel/applets and find the name of the key that is the applet you added. It will most likely be named applet_#, look at the bonobo_iid to find out what the applet is.
gconf-editor
Once you have the name then run the command:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel/applets/your_applet_name
If you want to destroy all your panel applets and start over then do:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel gnome-panel --replace
