I'm not sure gnome-panel is required.
Seems like it'd be better to take the panel lines from the unity2d

Seems like this is best fixed at the Debian level, but after wasting a
couple hours with configuration issues, crashes in the GTK interface,
and no clear way to reload a report from draft (why in the world would a
draft be helpful if I can't reload it?!) in reportbug, I've run out of
patience.
Adding gnome-panel to the Requires stanzas in xmonad's control file is
