After much searching on the various forums and such. According to the default text contained in the gnome-panelrc file, it clearly states:
# # This file is intentionally left empty. You may add gtk theme # definitions here and they will only apply to the GNOME Panel. # However, although this is listed through various links and suggestions as a viable way to properly affect the panel (unlike the default pixmap themeing which is rather kludgy), there appears to be a problem on Debian based systems regarding this. For example, the following users also have this problem: http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6636&start=15&sid=fbf27043e3bbe00da4f80f9188a62dc9 Various other distributions often cite utilizing the gnome-panelrc as a viable way to theme the panel. Hope this helps. This is a very important piece of design to properly affect the panel itself. For example -- as it currently stands, if one uses the pixmap engine for example, FLAT_BOX nor BOX can be used to scope a class to affect the panel. Reportedly, the gnome-panelrc _would_ permit this.
