The problem herein is that the tool only works properly as long as it's started "after" the GNOME Desktop has been completely started. Right now I haven't found the right position in the GNOME autostart chain to launch the modified script automatically, yet.
Hope someone finds a solution in the near future... :-)
Changing the theme just helped me out for a moment as the bug reappeared after a reboot/restart.
Additionally I tried to apply an automated restore of the genome panel defaults with an script, based on BitHacker's tool (se: http:// bithacker. blogspot. com/2010/ 05/restore- default- gnome-panels- in-ubuntu. html).
Here's my mod which disabled all questions and restores both the top and the bottom panel:
