I finally managed it, I had to reboot.  I moved .gconf, .gnome,
.gnome2 and .gnome2_private to /tmp and then rebooted and now I have
the default gnome-panel settings back at last.  I suspect that
some process that keeps these settings must persist even when you log
out.

It seems a bit of an omission though being able to delete panels with the
user interface but not being able to bring them back.
