It did not help. I noticed that .local, .icons, and .themes directories are missing from the home
directory of the affected user. I have a couple FC6 systems and one user whose gnome panel is OK has .local directory
but other user whose gnome panel is OK does not have this directory. All three directories are absent
in home directories of root accounts.

try the below from a virtual console ( Ctrl+alt+F1) for the affected
user
cd ~
mkdir old_config
mv .gtk* .local .config .nautilus .gnome* .gconf* .icons .themes
old_config
check if this helps.
