how to restore Mate panel
I was tweaking the mate panel trying to solve some other problem, when I changed the panel settings, from GNOME2, to something else. all my panel apps disappeared. Suspicious of that happening, I clicked the save button, before hand, but now I don't know how to restore my panel apps, there is no button for that.
From Zanna's comment, it would appear I am missing a feature of Mate Tweak. I don't see the panel option anywhere. This might be why I cannot restore my save. http://imgur.com/a/3VyWr

Am I missing the point? When you click save, your panel settings get saved as a custom option you can restore like this

Indeed! But the drop-down menu in my image is the one that says GNOME 2 in your image

I just selected some of the others, and my panel apps are gone again. is there a file that handles this? Im ok with doing it manualy, or writing a script. But this, this is annoying.

This is a surprising and unnatural behavior of mate-tweak -- you want to "tweak" your settings, but instead you lose all of your prior customizations.
To avoid loss when using the Interface tab, it is critical that the first action you take is to click Save Panel Layout.
After that, if something outrageous happens, you should be able to restore by selecting the Custom option from the drop-down that is immediately above Save Panel Layout.
Underlying this behavior, it seems, is the wildly incorrect notion by mate-tweak that it is the only tool that will be used to configure your panels.
