gnome-panel 2.4.1
gnome-session 2.4.1
gnome-desktop 2.4.1

Hey,

What are they?

gnome-panel contains the GNOME panel which is the area on your
desktop from which you can run applications and applets, and
perform other tasks.

gnome-session contains the GNOME session manager, the GNOME
session manager configuration program and several other session
management related utilities and the GNOME session manager proxy,
which handles basic session management for applications that do not
support XSMP.

gnome-desktop contains the libgnome-desktop library which
contains APIs that really belong in libgnome[ui] but have not seen
enough testing or development to be considered stable. It also
contains documents installed as part of the core GNOME
distribution, e.g. the GPL, GNOME’s .desktop files, the gnome-about
program, some manpages and GNOME’s core graphics files and
icons.
