That's fairly easy and it was the first thing I did after
installation.
Rightklick on the top panel and choose "delete panel" or whatever the
option is in English.
Then go to bottom panel and rightklick. Choose "Add to panel" and
choose whatever you want to have there. I have (right to left order):
clock. volume, terminal, vim, emacs, mozilla and that nice dice game
of gnome for my 5 minute breaks, and gnome start menue, the one with
the foot print.
You may want to move all starters to the left side and then you have
the same look as in 1.4
