The favourites are handled in the bottom panel (by hand, as I am the one who knows best what I'd like to have accessible via one-click) as well as some applets like volume setting, trash, log out, lock screen, run, notify area and virtual desktop switcher... In the top one I have menu, window list and some applets that say whats going on (i.e. how much network traffic I have, how much CPU is used and what datum and time is it). I find it very convenient, easy to manage and fast to use, much better than only when panel setting - to me it seems one panel for all the things I'd like to have accessible on one click is not very useful... (as a matter of fact, when I occasionally use windows I find the one panel with start menu quite confusing and shortcoming of space). But what I want to say with it, the default configuration is chosen to fit most of the gnome users, but not everyone use it as is, but make their own layout, but still I think two panels have much more positives than negatives over one panel. Also having the menu on the top is nice, since application menus are on the top of window as well, so it is more logical. Just my 2$. Btw. if you'd like the default panel configuration changed, make your proposal on the fedora-desktop-list [1], I am sure they'll gladly discuss it with you.
