Dual Monitors

While attempting to get video streaming in workspace 2 (to a TV), via the Control Panel, the panel (the drop down one with applets and menus) disappeared along with plank and conky. Attempting to start either produces error messages:

Any hints on how to recover this problem would be greatly appreciated.

OK, I've resolved the problems caused by this issue, basically by manually running the relevant .ini files in /usr/share/applications.

I will investigate the cause in due course and raise a new topic.
