[ale] gnome-panel MIA

[Bridges, Doug]

Or you can just go to debian.org and see what files are in the package:

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=gnome-panel&version=stable&arch=i386

My guess, from looking at the file list, is that the name of the program is /usr/bin/panel.

Maybe they put it somewhere stupid that's not in your path?  I don't 
know aptget, but rpm permits you to list the full path to everything 
installed by a specific package. Does apt have a similar possibility.

When all else fails: find / -name gnome-panel -print & echo "go for coffee"
