I would add a user with another name and then log in using that users name. Gnome will make a bunch of configuration files for each application you run. It will make a hidden .gxxxxx for most of the things you run. So if you run galeon it will make the .galeon file. The reason for making a new user is to see what files it has and compare it to yours. Whatever you run start it up and if makes a configuration file it would be a safe bet you could delete the configuration file in your directory. What I do is copy the file under a different name and then delete the .gxxxxx file and restart x and see what it does. Normally Gnome if it can't find the .gnome or .gnome-destop it makes new ones. When you have it running the with the new configurations you then can safely delete the copied files. Once you have your panels the way you like them I would suggest making a copy of them with a different name like .gnome_good this way you can always if gnome become corrupted you can always revert back your good file without losing all your configurations. How I found this out my gnome desktop wouldn't start but my wifes would so I compared the two a copied her files to mine and restarted and it was fine. I deleted the .gnome files and some others and voilla they were back. So I thought boy this is nice. Like a failsafe mechanism. Good luck I hope this helped.
