Hi Sarah,

QGIS (or actually Qt) 'remembers' the placing of the windows by writing
them to the so called QSettings.
We have seen people closing/removing panels and not being able to find
them anymore.
So (hoping that we are talking about QGIS 2.18.4 and not the ancient
2.1.8.4...) There is an setting in:

Options/System named 'QSettings'

It says 'Reset user inteface to default settings' and requires you to
restart QGIS.

Hope this helps else let us know.

Regards,

Richard

ps for the (linux?) record: you could also start QGIS from commandline
with the
--defaultui option: "qgis --defaultui"
