Type 'panel&' in a terminal window to start the panel, and after that, it
should appear the next time you start gnome.

You can always press ctl-alt-bs to kill X. Maybe not the solution you are
asking for though...

Another way is to type 'save-session --kill' in a terminal window. That
would be the same as using the panel to logout.
