[ale] 'taskbar' / panel broke

[Jerry Z. Yu]

	you need to verify whether it is a soft config thing for your 
account, or it is really a corrupted system file somewhere. Towards that 
end, you can set up a new test user, and login in as this new user. If the 
task bar shows up properly. then, you has something wrong in your own
gnome/session config. since it is a new install, it is easy to move 
yourself to this new account by renaming this account.
	panel thing is provied by gnome-core package. If it is a corrupted 
file thing based on the test above, you can reinstall the gnome-core (and 
all gnome- packages and some XFree86- xdm- gdm-) as well. 
	rpm -Uvh --force RPMs.in.question
	--force allows to overwrite the old installation of the same RPM.
