Have you tried running "panel" from an xterm? If you get errors from
this then there are problems, otherwise that will get you a panel back.
If root doesn't have a panel either, then it might be a deeper problem,
but you should at least get error messages in the terminal.

If you can't get access to a terminal, backup you'r ~/.xinitrc file and
create a new one with one line: "xterm". Then use that xterm to run the
panel.
