I don't know how relevant this still is, but I recently got round this issue by attempting to start another instance of the panel with 'sudo gnome-panel'

terminal threw out an error as expected

** Message: Could not connect to session manager: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SessionManager': no such name

** (gnome-panel:3426): WARNING **: Could not connect to session manager: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SessionManager': no such name

but after doing so I got a totally stock (al la Ubuntu) panel with normal menu lauchers etc that I WAS able to adjust through add/remove from panel. Then it was just a case of putting the gnome HOME applet and adding DockX/Namebar etc as I pleased.

Hope that helps people out. A really annoying 'quirk' of UNR this one.
