I was just missing some of the widgets.  I normally run Folder View so I 
didn't see that the pager, digital clock, and the taskbar had just been moved 
out of the panel and onto the desktop.  I've moved them back, so that part's 
OK.  However, I can't find the network manager widget on the add widgets list 
or on the desktop.  I used to have something right next to the battery widget 
that showed the status of wicd and opened wicd with a single click.  I assume 
that was network manager?
