Personally, I tried at least the following before searching for this bug entry and discovering the workarounds:
* Look for a panel-applet setup app in Preferences folder in app launcher
* Look for a panel-applet setup dialog in Menu Editor app
* Unhide "Panel" launcher icon via Menu Editor, then launch it and look for some sort of configuration dialog
* Right-click on home icon, look for "Add to panel..." in context menu
* Right-click on the UME magic title bar space, look for "Add to panel..." in context menu
* Right-click on the notification icon area, look for "Add to panel..." in context menu
* Right-click on every little bit of black space between or to the side of icons in the top bar, look for "Add to panel..." in context menu

Suggested fixes so far on this bug include:

'Perhaps the go-home-applet could provide an "add to panel..." menu item in its context menu?'
for which http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557232 might aid in implementation.
and
'I think the only way to solve this problem right-now is to have a little space between the go-home and window-picker applets, but then the user would have to know to click there...'

I might also add the suggestion of having a preferences item to add things to the panel, though that might not play super nice with the gnome desktop model where there might be multiple panels present.
