Bless you! And bless you some more! As Robert Ragusa and others had
suggested, that was the big one. I'm doing this as btth, on a gnome
desktop, on what has just become my main machine once again. No last
desparate jackhammered downgrade need apply -- what a relief!

As btth on the halfbreed desktop, I did mkdir GnomeTemp, followed by mv
.gnome* GnomeTemp, mv .gconf* GnomeTemp, and mv .metacity GnomeTemp -- and
then logged out and back in.

It gave me gnome, and let me reconstruct my panels in detail. (I couldn't
wait to try to find them again.)

So I have all that stuff in /home/btth/GnomeTemp -- what do I do next?
Delete it all? Sift through it somehow? Some other form of clean-up??

Surely at least make gnome the default login again?

Many, many thanks to all!
