Yes, I had already deleted it.

Thank you anyway.

Have you by any chance forgotten ~/.gconfd ?

No I didn't.

At the end I resolved to wipe out ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gconf.

I followed this procedure:
mv ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2-old
mv ~/.gconf ~/.gconf-old
killall gconfd
rm ~/.gconfd/saved_state
gnome-panel &

Then I managed to copy by hand my configuration from the ~/.gnome2-old
to the newly created ~/.gnome2 (mainly epiphany and nautilus stuff).

Now gnome-panel is finally restored to its fresh default state.
I just wonder where gconfd was picking the gnome-panel
configuration from. Now all gnome-panel configuration files seems to
reside in the following dirs:
~/.gnome2/panel.d
~/.gconf/apps/panel

It's also not clear to me the difference between ~/.gconf and
~/.gnome2, but at least now I have gnome-panel working properly.

Cheers
