Thanks for posting a patch. Since the package is maintained in a bzr branch I'd suggest to turn the patch into a merge proposal by branching from the URL:
bzr branch https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-panel/ubuntu
and then submit a Merge proposal as outlined in https://help.launchpad.net/BranchMergeProposals
I'd also recommend to include a proper changelog entry.
