I know. Known bug. Don't sweat that issue. :)

Yeah the Guest user is pretty darn locked down.

You should be able to get a default panel from
/usr/share/lxpanel/profile/Lubuntu/panels/panel.

The issue also *MIGHT* not be lxpanel. It could also be openbox, for
example. Maybe even lxsession (I think that's unlikely, but possible).
You can find default config files for that in /etc/xdg. Try that if
lxpanel doesn't fix things.
