Hey Narahari!

It looks like you cousin's gnome panel config went south.

If your cousin can follow the instructions here, it will probably fix
his problem:

 >

====
1.  Press Alt+F2, in text fild type 'gnome-terminal' (without quotes)
and click on 'Run'.

2.  In terminal submit the commands below one by one. Select one
line at a time and press 'Enter'.

%> gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel
%> rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
%> pkill gnome-panel

You can recover Ubuntu machines 'Taskbar". Systems behave normally.

seems to work.

HTH!
peace
