   You will see several menu, and even an option, called: "all
   properties..."

Ok, I read more carefully the help about the panels, it is my fault,
this is the menu panel that is not configureable.
Telsa was right.
Err, I have a french version of gnome, and I translate the menu and
labels, so don't take what I say too literally (global instead of all
here :-/)
It is a little strange (although no problem for me) that this panel
isn't configurable in a world where you can do almost everything :).
Perhaps it would be less confusing if there was, at the same place of
"properties" for the other panel a "properties" label grayed or a label
grayed stating "no properties", for the lazy who don't want to look at
the manual.

   Check the GNOME Control Center:

         Desktop -> Panel -> Miscellaneous

Well, the point is not here. I did that, and my panels are under the
windows, but I would like that the panels raise above the windows when
the mouse pointer enters a still unhidden part of the panel (or only
when I click on the panel).  Maybe it isn't possible ?

   Control Center -> Startup Programs

I didn't found it. In this I only see

"show splash screen on login" (which isn't translated in french, and...
for me has no sense litteraly taken !) (I tried it and didn't see any
change...)
"Confirm end session" (translated)
"Automatically save session changes" (translated)

And a box with
"Startup programms without session handler"

At the bottom a button with "see the running programs..."
