Your Karmic is odd. My trash is at the bottom right of my my
lower panel. The date and time are at the top right panel.

Do you have a top and bottom panel?

I'm not clear; first you say that the panels had dissappeared, then you
say that the division between the panels is missing and you can't add
anything to the panels... which is it?

You might try:
Alt-F1
Login using your regular login name and password
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-panel gnome-panel-data
$ exit
Alt-F7

see if your default panels are back (top and bottom). You can then
adjust modify from there.

This also happened twice to me this evening. I'm using fvwm, but
I used to launch gnome-panel, and never had this problem before.
I was not doing anything special which could explain that crash.
I'll do the re-install if that happens again.
