How do I get Wingpanel to replace the default Gnome Panel?

  • 772

I've installed wingpanel, but as I launch it, the regular Gnome Panel won't disappear. I also tried wingpanel --replace but it doesn't change the situation. However, when executing killall gnome-panel, for those few seconds of a panel free desktop, the Wingpanel appears on the top right corner, just to disappear as Gnome Panel is restored. Any advice on how to make this work is appreciated.

gnome-panel

    To completly disable Gnome Panel run gconf-editor and navigate through Desktop → Gnome → Session → Required Components and double click on panel and remove value gnome-panel (make the field blank).
