This might not work but you can try renaming the Panel directory.

Open the nautilus file manager and navigate to your /home/username/.gconf/apps directory, then rename the Panel directory to something like PanelOLD.

Then log out of Gnome and back in, or reboot. If it worked, you can delete the PanelOLD directory. If not, we'll try another method.

You can open it with the Home folder button if there is one on your desktop. If not, look in your Places Menu for Home.
