The OLC consultants maintain a stock answer on this:
Occasionally the tasklist applet (the group of icons on the panel with
one icon per window) will mysteriously crash.
If this is the case, you can still restore iconified windows by
middle-clicking on the desktop, selecting "Windows", and selecting the
iconified window you want to restore (it will be in [square brackets]
if it's iconified).
You can also restart the applet on the panel by right clicking in some
blank space on the panel itself, and selecting:
Add To Panel -> Applet -> Utility -> Tasklist
Sometimes the clock may crash and vanish from the panel too. You can
restart the clock applet on the panel by right clicking in some blank
space on the panel itself, and selecting:
Add To Panel -> Applet -> Clocks -> Clock
It's unfortunately a little hard to find; it's at:
