Background :

I developed a python desktop application which is run on the top of Ubuntu 12.04 and it is running in full screen mode. I used gnome-fallback as a Ubuntu Desktop.

Question :

My problem is delete top and bottom Gnome panels permanently and I know how to do it from gui itself (ALT + Right Click). But I need to do it from the commands.

Anyone have an idea about that.

Thanks in advance.

Install dconf-tools:

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Backup your panel configuration:

dconf dump /org/gnome/gnome-panel/ > /some/location/backup.xml

Now remove the panels:

gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout toplevel-id-list [""]

If you want to restore them later use:

cat /some/location/backup.xml | dconf load /org/gnome/gnome-panel/

NOTE: This doesn't seem to hold after a reboot. Further research shows this is because several dconf schemas are still in place. I have yet to figure out how to remove these.
