Ouch - don't throw out the baby with the bathwater :-)
The above command will get rid of all your gnome customizations. (and
also, it is almost always a good idea to do mv instead of rm -rf )

For the network manager applet, you may have done two things:

1. (More likely) - you have removed the notification area applet from
the GNOME panel. To add it, right click on panel -> Select "Add to
Panel" -> Choose "Notification Area"

2. If the above does not work, you may have really managed to get rid
of the applet from the panel  - from the command line (GNOME
Terminal), run the command nm-applet. If that works, from the Main
Menu -> System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications, add the command
nm-applet (or you can also enable "Network Manager" if it appears in
the list of Startup Applications)

As for the sound applet, from the Main Menu -> System -> Preferences
-> Startup Applications, add the command gnome-volume-control-applet
(or you can also enable "GNOME Volume Control" if it appears in the
list of Startup Applications)

Thanks,
Sayamindu
