Hi, Just to add to this. I have just updated from stable to sid and experienced the same. The bottom panel shows nothing in it at all; "Add to panel..." does nothing. I was able to get a functioning system by adding the window list to the top panel.
Also, maybe related and maybe not, at first gnome did not refresh the screen with windows moves or iconizing, menu manipulations, etc, leaving much cruft behind. That stops by enabling desktop icons. But setting a desktop background does not work (it is simply bland off-white). I may have old gnome settings that are interferring. I could create a new user to test that theory out.
