It's not a bug, it's a feature. :) In GNOME 2.4, they've done away with
the different panel types.  There's now just the one, but it has all the
options the others used to have, but with certain enhancements.  For
example, you can simulate a menu panel by creating a thin top panel,
adding the "Menu Bar", and locking it in place on the far left.
