I ended up downgrading gnome-session and gnome-panel to 2.22 as a workaround. It appears to be working OK so far.
(You can't just downgrade gnome-session, because gnome-panel depends on the newer version to support essentials such as "log out".) This is what worked for me. Start by adding the Hardy main repository back to sources.list, then: $ sudo apt-get install gnome-session/hardy gnome-panel/hardy gnome- panel-data/hardy $ for x in session panel panel-data; do echo gnome-$x hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections; done I'm sure this will cause all sorts of trouble down the line, but it makes me happy for now and turns Intrepid into a genuinely pleasing system. Of course I'm missing any improvements made to gnome-panel since 2.22, but I'd be very surprised if it has anything significant enough to be worth losing this feature for. One problem is that the "quit" dialog now lacks the icons for some of its options -- I'm not sure how to restore those without losing any icons that are needed for newer Gnome features.
