No.
It just doesn't take effect.

Right-click on the panel

New Panel

Now try again.

I get a new panel (but only if I do this on the top panel - not the
bottom one).

But trying to add anything to it is still a NOP (although I CAN get
New Panel to work from it).

That's not quite true - I can add a launcher from the menus (but not a
custom launcher).

         I'm probably wrong on this, and I admit there's a lot about
running linux that I don't know, but when running gnome, isn't the top
panel where you add all your launchers and so forth, and the bottom
panel is where the minimized programs reside? That's how I've been doing
it anyway.

A panel is a panel, so it doesn't matter.

No launchers can be added to either panel. Minimized applications
appear
only on the bottom panel.

They appear where you've got a "Window List" applet.  There just happens
to be one put there, to start with, on the lower panel.  You *can*
remove it, you *can* put on one the top.

       Sorry about the previous post. It may not even address the issue.
Is it possible to lock the panels in some way, so that you can't add
stuff to them?
