[Bubba <kprohn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a similar (identical?) problem with intermittent panel freezes at boot. I have found ten other bugs with nearly identical trouble. 
I have also discovered that I can recover my panel functionality with two steps that you may wish to try. This works 100% of the time on my machine. 

Access a terminal (Ctl-Alt-F1) and execute the following command;

        $ killall gnome-panel

The second step is to return to the desktop (Ctl-Alt-F7) and open a "Run
application" window (Alt-F2) and execute the command;

        $ gnome-panel --replace

My panels and system are completely functional now (except for missing
weather apps). Do not use a desktop terminal for the second command -
the process will hang in a terminal. See Bug #466118 for more comments.

Hope this works for you too...

After "Karmic" kernel updates, the panels are unresponsive.
