Right after I sent my message, I found a solution, although I am still not sure what
the problem was. On a lark I xkill'd the window identified as the GNOME_NAME_SERVER 
window. My panel works OK now. I'm not sure why I had a bogus name server running or
why this caused a problem that could not be fixed short of manual intervention, but
there are probably bigger fish to fry right now, bugwise.
