Top-Bottom panels are not showing up on startup in classic Gnome in Ubuntu 11.04

I use Ubuntu 11.04 fully updated, classic Gnome DE, Synaptic for installations and uninstallations.

I have uninstalled Banshee, Empathy and Evolution which are I am not going use ever. Did mark for complete removal and also selected some other items like empathy-common, evolution-common, etc..

Everything was fine until I rebooted it. Both top and bottom panels are not showing. I am also using AWN (Avant Window Navigator), so for now I am using it's panels.

I think I have uninstalled something which need to load those top and bottom panels.

Please help me to bring them back. :)

Kush's comment helped me for this.

First run gnome-panel in terminal.

If gnome-panel is not installed, install it using sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

And try gnome-panel again. It will show up.

In my case during installation I noticed that it is also installing evolution-data-server, gnome-applet, indicator-applet-appmenu, indicator-applet-complete and libedataserverui. From which, last day I had uninstalled evolution-data-server myself.

Here is the full log, just in case:

ikrz@ikrz-Lenovo-G570:~$ gnome-panel

The program 'gnome-panel' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
