I have no idea but I guess that this is not SunRay-related. Can you
check your Gnome by directly connecting a display to the server's
graphics card or by "X :2 -query <server ip>" from another computer?

Looking at the lower left corner of your screenshot I think your
resolution is right, the panel is fully visible. Only the workspace
switcher in the lower right corner has false ideas about your panel's
size. What happens if you change the panel size (right click ->
properties) or remove and re-add the workspace switcher applet?
Does it happen with every account, even with a freshly created one?
Can you add the "Main menu" applet  manually to the upper panel?
