Missing top and bottom panels in ubuntu 11.04

Question

I'm missing top and bottom panels in Natty. Googling for this the most common resolution is:

a@omnipresent ~ % gconftool-2 --shutdown
a@omnipresent ~ % rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel     
a@omnipresent ~ % pkill gnome-panel

However, this is not helping me. It does not bring the top and bottom panels back.

Is there something else that I should be trying?

Update

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 11.04
Release:    11.04
Codename:   natty

Unity doesn't provide an additional panel. You can use an old gnome-panel.
gnome-panel & works but I have to run that everytime I boot. I'll have to add it to my boot scripts. thanks
