Actually, I had been considering that idea, but on comparison between the
crippled login and a good one and finding nothing resembling corruption, I
was holding that as a last option.

Things being as they are, the problem's fixed. I opened an Eterm and typed
the command "panel". This started the panels, at which point I destroyed
the Eterm, which destroyed the panels, and then GNOME noticed the
destruction of the panels and restarted them.

Thanks much for the idea, though. This happened once before, and the only
way I could find to fix it was to destroy the original login and create a
new one from scratch.
