gnome panel??
This worked for me with gnome under Ubuntu Gutsy: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+question/1170
If your taskbar (also known as the panel) is missing in Ubuntu, you can restore it by pressing Alt + F2, typing gnome-panel, and hitting Enter. Alternatively, you can open a terminal and run the command gnome-panel & to bring it back. If you're using a different desktop environment, such as Xfce or KDE, the method may vary slightly, so make sure to check the specific commands for your environment.
try run gnome-panel in the run dialogue (alt+f2)
actually, the gnome shroom does not turn into a gnome, it's just a joke.
