The Gnome equivalent of DCOP (and hopefully someday KDE too) is a
freedesktop standard called DBus, which is heavily based on DCOP. As for
your actual questions, I'm not sure if gnome-panel exports a DBus
service, probably not since its overdue for an overhaul someday.

Can you tell us why you want to hide the panel? Maybe there's another
way?
