The quickest way to bring it back is type "gnome-panel" at a command line. If that doesn't work delete your /home/$USER/.gnome/panel directory or for extreme cases, the whole /home/$USER/.gnome/ directory.

what distrobution you running? Have you loaded any Gnome updates? This use to be a really bad problem with Red Hat 7.0 - 7.3 and updating usually fixes it. I haven't seen this at all in RH8.0 so that is a good sign it was fixed with gnome 2 ;)
