Like elliot said I would check that you have the latest, also try looking
in the panel.d directory at different times, does it still have the right
info right after you save, right after you log out of gnome, etc.

thats one idea.  just remember to undo all this before you spend time
configuring things :)

do you really mean session management, or the auto save session stuff?
either way, I wouldn't think this would effect what is on the panel, only
what comes up at startup, etc.

reboot???? why on earth would you need to reboot?  Not to single you out,
but people really need to stop thinking that rebooting is the way to
magically fix things.  Ok maybe if it was some kernel or system related
thing and you really didn't know any other way to reset things, but
common, rebooting to change the configuration of user level software??
remember what os you are running.
