I have no clue.  But it's already filed as
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314331 and
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1187 which is probably
the best place to take the discussion. (The freedesktop.org bug does
make it seem that the panel is being mishandled somehow if xprop is
reporting it as withdrawn...)
