You must be using an older version of Gnome?

The current version (1.2) lets you set the size of your panel to 24, 36,
48, 64 or 80 pixels in size.  There's also a bunch of other option
(different panels for different needs, multiple panels anywhere you want
them).	It's a little tricky to get the feel for, but the new panel set
up is bloody configurable.

I suggest you try it out.  I think this is what you are after.
