Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

You cannot easily access the panel properties when a panel is full with 
applets, like the bottom panel in default Ubuntu.
In fact, to change its properties, you have to
- remove an existing applet (say, the "show desktop" applet)
- right click to the newly created empty space and select properties
- change properties
- add the precedently removed applet

To resolve this bug, I would propose to create a general configuration 
application that permits to select the panel of which you want to edit the 
properties. This application would be placed in 
System->Preferences->Panels

Present in gnome-panel 2.16
