I have same problem with Compiz. I haven't tried to log in again, but to get the panel I just have to click the area at the bottom of my screen where I expect to see the panel.
I haven't used Compiz Settings Manager at all.
I'm using AMD64 up-to-date Gutsy, lspci | grep vga: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
