Well I'm currently working on multi-session support for the panel...
well 'working' is a rather strong word, as I haven't actually started
it yet....but gnome-session will be linked into the panel...ie. 
according to what your session is, a suitable panel will be loaded...
so if the session is failsafe, a failsafe panel will be loaded...

I know this doesn't address the user's experience at all...but..

Oh, I hope this will change in the future...I hope that it will, but 
sometimes you want a 'failsafe' failsafe....and a plain X env would
do just perfect for that :)
