What's the output of:
$ rpm -q --qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n' gnome-panel

I suspect that you've somehow got a gnome-panel-2.8.1-3.i386 package
installed on your system (which is strange since FC4 never supplied an
i386 version of this package, and the package supplied was
version-release 2.10.1-10).

If I'm right, try this:
# yum remove gnome-panel.i386
