Unable to reset the gnome panel

[swabo]

My son has managed to delete everything from the lower right hand gnome panel in his user profile except the clock. I cannot seem to get this panel reset to the defaults. I have two main problems at this time.

1) There seems to be no way to add anything back to the lower right hand panel. Its as if there is no room to click to add something back. Clicking anywhere in the panel just brings up a menu to change the clock settings, not settings for the panel. I cannot get the 'Add To Panel' context menu item for this panel. I want to add additional applets like sound preferences and network manager if I could find the damn thing.

2) since the network manager is now gone, I have no way to turn the wireless on and off in this profile. This means I have to log in and turn it on for him in my profile to get network access. I have tried to add the network manager back to all of the panels, but I can not find it anywhere in the 'Add to Panel' interface. It just does not seem to exist, and its is crippling the use of this profile. Where is this applet located? How can I add it back? The 'Network Connections' portion of the control center does not seem to turn the wireless on and off. I am desperate to get this applet back because he is now unable to interact with the wireless and therefore unable to use the laptop unaided.

Hoping for any help I might get.

Hi,

notification area is what you need to add from "add to panel"
try right clicking to the left of the clock a bit and it should give
you panel options.
