After adding the Trash applet to your top panel, right click it, and 
make sure "Lock to panel" is not enabled. Then you can use the 
middle-mouse-button to drag it to another panel.

For the volume-applet: add it that same way as Trash (right click panel, 
  "add applet"). If it does not appear, log out and log into gnome 
again. That worked for me, if I recall correctly. If that works for you, 
too, it would be a good idea to file a bug in bugzilla for this, as the 
applet should of course appear instantly.

Cheers,
