metacity and gnome-panel seem to be getting started as a fallnack when
gnome-shell isn't installed now. So refreshing from an up to date mirror
will probably take care of this for you.

Otherwise:
Login using gdm (the GUI login program).
Use ctrl alt F2 to get a vt.
Login as the same use as above.
Run:
export DISPLAY=:0.0
metacity&
gnome-panel&
logout
Then us ctrl F1 or ctrl F7 (depends on where your X session ended up) to get
back to your X session. You should have a panel when you do.
