That's a bit drastic don't you think? Have you done that on your own
system today before recommending? Please do & tell us the results.

First of all you/we have no idea what he may have done to remove the
panel to begin with. Second, using Tab's suggestion will most likely fix
the issue. The Applications|Places|System menu can easily be added to
the new top panel (if the panel doesn't restore properly) by:
right-click the new top panel, 'Add to Panel'|Main Menu.

Please don't recommend rm'ing anything (particularly to a potential new
user) without first checking to see if it is something that may be
simple first. Further, 'killall gnome-panel' would have been my
suggested method to restart the gnome-panel(s). See: man killall
