Do you have fam or gamin installed and running? IIRC one of those is
required for the behaviour you require, at least in the case of Sarge.
The brute-force solution is simply to kill gnome-panel (don't worry,
gnome-session will restart it):
pkill gnome-panel
But that could cause consternation in a multi-user environment :-)
