CentOS - Sep 2007 - Reconfiguring gnome desktop

Please - how do I reconfigure my gnome desktop (CentOS 4.4) to get back
my application icons and workspaces? Something's changed in the settings
so that there are no workspaces shown in the panel and applications
"disappear" off the screen when applications (eg Evolution, Mozilla
etc)
are minimized! When I log in as root, it's all still there OK!

Any help appreciated - thanks

Andy

Just right click on the lower panel (the grey area at the bottom of  
the screen) and select "Add to Panel...".  The items you are looking  
for are named "Window List" and "Workspace Switcher".  If
you don't
even have the lower panel, right click on the top panel and select  
"New Panel".
