alexey-baskinov, "gnome-pannel --replace &" is the official way of reloading the panel when it disappears, loses applets etc.
It's not as violent as killing that process, but still is an overkill when all is needed is to redraw the panel itself.

Thus, VT switching seems to be the best workaround as for now.
Let's wait for the real bugfix ideas...

Title:
  part of desktop background image on top of gnome-panel

Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  A part of desktop background image is shown on top of gnome-panel. It disappears either by clicking on the ubuntu menu item or by hovering (mouse-over) over it.
  I'm not 100% sure this is a gnome-panel bug. This problem occurs at random times per day. I noticed it after upgrading to ubuntu 11.04. I use ubuntu classic with theme ambiance if it matters.
