You mentioned earlier that you had to remove a gnome-panel binary
from /usr/local to get the correct version loaded - do you have applets
in /usr/local/libexec too and are these being loaded maybe?

That's the correct placement for the applets. Could you try running one
from there on the command line and then adding it through the panel
right click menu?
