One thing I did (I think it helped) is that I write protected the ~/.gnome/session
and everything in ~/.gnome/panel.d

Im sure this is not the way to do things, but it kept my panel stable (except for
applet crashes) until I decided I wanted to change things.  Also I think it is a
good idea to turn the session management off after you have your panel the way you
want.  Have you tried turning session managment off, setting up your panel then
manually saving it.  After you do this reboot.  You never know it might work.
