Re: Making the panel re-appear in the lock screen after removing it from the shield

[Norman L Smith <nls1729 gmail com>]

I did a quick test which may (or easily not be) a solution.
Main.layoutManager.panelBox.hide();
Main.layoutManager.panelBox.show();
It seems to work in a regular user session.  I using GS 3.26.
