If all you want is the panel, you can run that without running all of
Gnome. I did this for a while until I got sick of the panel ;). Just
run gnome-panel. I also ran gnome-settings-daemon; I think it was to
fix the fonts on the panel.
I also had a few styles that worked around things I didn't like about the panel.
Style * EWMHMaximizeIgnoreWorkingArea
Style panel GNOMEIgnoreHints
Style gnome-panel StaysOnBottom, GNOMEIgnoreHints
