After getting past this hurdle: gnome-panel will not start after running purge command i seem to ave lost appmenu. All of the packages related to it have been installed, however it does not show up in the 'add to panel' menu. Do i need to enable something else in order to see it?

This will give you a default set of panels:

gconftool-2 --shutdown
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel
