I would stick with "panel", as I see that used, for example, in the
Ubuntu Forums. However, I would make several changes to the glossary as
follows:
\newglossaryentry{panel}{name={panel}, description={The panel is a bar
that stretches along the top edge of your screen. It contains
application menus (on the left, hidden until the mouse hovers over
them), and \glspl{applets} (on the right), which provide useful
functions such as the time, the network indicator, and the system
settings.}}
