If you’re doing some tests on your Gnome or KDE panels,you may need to reload the panels frequently for the effect.Instead of restart computer or re-login,reload the process would be a better way.
For ubuntu gnome,press Alt+F2 key combination and type following to kill the process:
killall gnome-panel
It will immediately restart the panels,or you can run gnome-panel to start it.
For ubuntu KDE,also press Alt+F2 key combination and type following
dcop kicker kicker restart
Run following to kill and restart the process if the kicker panel is locked up.
killall kicker
kicker

I have KDE 4.6 and it does not seem to be working.
I want to know if there is a way to save and restore kde panel settings.
Could you please create a script that lets you save and restore kde panel setting and also restore default kde panel settings. The script for restoring gnome panel settings is available from this link http://www.starryhope.com/downloads/PanelRestore.tar.gz
