Create another user (better if from the command line; the Gnome applet
for creating users has some quirks). Does the new user have all the
panels in place?

Synaptics does its thing. Now you can use the Search button on its
toolbar and find out if the apps you want are in the repositories.

I strongly suspect a wrong (or, more probably -- missing) xorg.conf is
the culprit. You'll either have to tinker with hal definition files
(the ones in xml format) or supply the supported resolutions via
xorg.conf. There's a plethora of template xorg.conf files on the
Internet, or you could boot a good live CD and copy the relevant lines
from its xorg.conf.
