Are any of panel apps from "gnome alternative" gtk-using environments
suitable?  I periodically try out the panels from things like lxde, but
so far they've been noticeably less nice than gnome-panel.

If they continue to improve though, maybe a mix of gnome and non-gnome
could be a reasonable "gtk centric" alternative to gnome's increasing
wackiness?
