It's happening to multiple users. I'll try your suggestions and report back.
Thanks  :-)

 Is this happening to every user or a specific user? I apologize if you have already answered this but I am just now following this thread and didn't see the original email. The top and bottom panels are 'gnome-panel'. It's quite obvious they aren't running but one thing you can do is in a shell is type 'ps -ef | grep gnome-panel' without the '' and see if gnome-panel returns. You can also try to manually start gnome-panel by issueing the following command '/usr/bin/gnome-panel'. That is a assuming gnome-panel is in the same path in Ubuntu as it is in Fedora. If it's not, you can use 'whereis gnome-panel' to locate the file. If this is just one user it could be a corrupt profile as well.

Sorry Matt,
 No luck.
 I got portmap to install.
 I got nfs-common to install.
 I know home is mounted because I can GUI browse to all student folders on the smbldap server.
 However, when I login, I still can't see the top panel (Applications  Places  System) or the bottom panel. (desktop, app switcher, desktop switcher, trash). It's weird because everything else seems to work fine. I can open, edit, and save OO.org documents. I can pretty much do anything that doesn't require panel based commands.
 I'm stuck,

 I've just updated the wiki page. The short answer is:
 
 $ sudo apt-get install portmap
 $ sudo /etc/init.d/portmap restart

 Do you know for sure that /home is mounted? Can you log in as the
 local admin and 'su - otheruser' in a terminal to become another user,
 and then see that user's files in her home directory?
