THANKS! I was wondering for a while how I can get that panel back … those right clicks can kill you sometimes!

Brilliant!
Works on any Gnome panel.
I just restored my Fedora 12 top panel.
Just copy/paste the above instructions into a terminal.
Did not need root privileges at all.
Thanks for this hint.
