The panel has in it a launcher for the Control Center. There you can
specify a window manager and a background to use. You can also create
new panels with the launchers, menus, and applets you want. When you
logout (via the entry in the foot menu in the panel) gnome will save
your session and restore it the next time you start gnome. You should
have had a better default session than that, but if you get the panel
and no lockups or crashes, then you can proceed to customize it for
yourself.
