Icons are missing from panel

[Eric Goforth <ewgoforth earthlink net>]

Hello all,

I'm using Gnome/Sawfish on RH7.0.  What's the thing called on the panel
that looks sort of like a Status dock?  I've mistakenly deleted it from
my panel.  Now I don't see an icon on my panel for each application that
I have open.  How do I get it back?  With Gnome/Sawfish Is there any way
with Gnome to minimize icons to my desktop instead?

Thanks,
Eric
