Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.
I have gnome-shell running, but AFIK not another gnome-panel.
Sorry, I forgot the --replace option. The call should read:
gnome-panel --replace
Next question would be how to execute the command on start-up of
gnome-shell. Unlike gnome2 there is no way to configure this from
the GUI(*). But you can execute on the command line:
gnome-session-properties
This will give you the GUI known from gnome2.6.

Thanks, that worked!
It gets me back to where I was for now.
One other question which perhaps you can answer. In reference to the
original problem about dragging links directly from Firefox, when the
launcher that is the drop destination is on a gnome-panel the drop does
launch the application with the url as the argument.
When the launcher resides in a Nautilus (Desktop) file manager, the drop
does not trigger the application. However, if I drop the link on the
Desktop, it creates a <link>.desktop file on the Desktop. I can then
drag that <link>.desktop file to the launcher on the Desktop and it will
trigger with the <link>.desktop file as the argument.
Any ideas as to why the behavior is different? This is the same behavior
as in Gnome 2, but it has always irked me as to why the different
launcher behavior when in the panel or the file manager.
