Title:
  Can't remove all (last) gnome-panel panels

Status in gnome-panel package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  Users are able to right click on panels of gnome-panel and select
  "Delete This Panel". However when there is only one panel remaining,
  this option is grayed out. This wouldn't be a problem if gnome-panel
  was an entry in sessions that could simply be disabled/removed to stop
  it from starting up, but this isn't the case.

  Many users of docks such as AWN have no need for gnome-panel but must
  resort to dirty hacks to stop it from running (such as renaming
  /usr/bin/gnome-panel, which causes upgrade problems among others).

  The cleanest solution would just be to allow the user to remove any
  gnome-panel, whether or not it is the last. Ideally this would still
  allow the Alt+F2 launcher to work which is bundled with gnome-panel,
  but a simple way to stop gnome-panel from starting would suffice.
