I have a similar (identical?) problem with intermittent panel freezes at boot.
I have found ten other bugs with nearly identical trouble.
I have also discovered that I can recover my panel functionality with two steps
that you may wish to try. This works 100% of the time on my machine.
Access a terminal (Ctl-Alt-F1) and execute the following command;
$ killall gnome-panel
The second step is to return to the desktop (Ctl-Alt-F7) and open a "Run
application" window (Alt-F2) and execute the command;
$ gnome-panel --replace
My panels and system are completely functional now (except for missing
weather apps). Do not use a desktop terminal for the second command -
the process will hang in a terminal. See Bug #466118 for more comments.
Hope this works for you too...

After "Karmic" kernel updates, the panels are unresponsive.
