Hi!
  I'm a rabid fan of e. I don't know of any "approved" way to do what you
want, but here is how I got X to start gkrellm every time I logged in.
In /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d, I created a little shell script,

#! /bin/sh

if [ -x /usr/bin/gkrellm ] ; then
    exec /usr/bin/gkrellm&
fi

chmod +x'd it, and now when I log in (as anyone) it starts gkrellm. You
can probably do something similar with gnome-panel. There is almost
certainly a way to do this just for a single user, but since I'm a loner
with bad personal hygeine and nobody else ever uses my machines but me, I
just did it at a system-wide level. :)

  In a more abstract sense, why do you want to start gnome-panel if you're
using e? That's something of a non-sequitur, if not an outright
oxymoron. e is generally considered the hacker's wm (using hacker in
it's canonnical sense, as opposed to it's media-assigned status as an
epithet for computer criminals). Just edit your keybindings.cfg to give
you a key combo for starting all of your favorite apps (I can even help
you if your windows key [penguin, if you bought you computer from
Penguin, meta if you're using a Sun keyboard] won't work); start
everything else at the command prompt and leave the GUI tools to the
mac-windows weenies. ;)
