I have not tested this, buy you could try running gnome-panel on the remote machine. I am not sure if it will try and take over your desktop. The other thing you can do is to run Xnest, and launch the windows manager inside the Xnest window. It will give you a complete remote desktop inside the window. (This requires a fast connection between the two computers.
A remote gnome-panel seems to take over the local panel position and then have a split-personality about which one should be there. I just want the little menu button in its own window.
Someone elst already said you can use vncviewer for this.
I don't want the whole desktops from all the other machines, just the ability to launch any program available in any menu under my local window manager with the usual cut/paste and positioning control available. That's the way most other X things work.
