kicker panel died

Greetings all; I did get it restarted but it was quite a dance. And I think changing the screen background was what killed it. It disappeared when I clicked on apply to change the background. But I just changed the background to half the supplied photos w/o it happening again. But it happened. This might be a place to write a script to relaunch if it disappears from the process list. I hope it doesn't happen frequently. Just saying I guess. Bit of a puzzle to navigate ones workspaces by ctl+F#.
