To add things to the panels, press alt and hold, press right mouse click.

The drawers are not there though, but buttons, and most widgets etc. are 
there.

Lipstick? For me it is as close to Gnome2 that I can get, I can get the 
buttons and widgets I used, and most importantly, it restores the 
work-flow that I once had in Gnome2, the work-flow that Gnome3 with its 
shell totally destroyed. I can get my work done again, and that's what 
it is important for me.

I actually did use Xfce since Gnome3 hit me, but turned to the fall-back 
mode mentioned above (i.e. Gnome3 with metacity, Gnome3 with compiz I 
did not get to work though, could not add things to the panels).

The sad thing is that they have hidden this fall-back mode quite thoroughly.
