  * status:  new => closed
  * next_action:  test in build => no action
  * resolution:  => fixed


Comment:

 Removing the Window list, Start Menu, and/or the panels containing these
 items as subitems is detected and corrected by restoring all these to the
 default settings.  Tested in 10.1.3 os360.

 Of note:

  * You can delete a panel without resetting everything if it does not
 contain an item we consider critical.  You can also control which screen
 border a panel is on safely.
  * We cannot detect if someone deletes an item we consider critical and
 then adds it in a different spot.  This forces a restore.  Users need to
 move items (unlocking it if necessary from the same right-click menu used
 to allow moving) instead.
  * Alternatives items (such as using the Window Selector instead of Window
 List) which might be safe currently are not supported.
