I have been frustrated by this problem for a long time through several different Ubuntu releases... I run Ubuntu as a virtual machine and switching from fullscreen to windowed mode produces this behavior often...
The trouble is that this behavior can occur with a reboot or a simple update-manager update... I have coded up my own script to restore a default panel layout...
I do believe this needs to be addressed in Karmic ... preferably with little or no user intervention...
Feel free to contact me, I want this resolved - it can be a tremendous waste of time and is definitely detracts from Ubuntu's desktop user experience...
