I confirm this bug. I have the exact same problem. This is my configuration: Fresh Ubuntu 10.04 install. Graphics card Matrox G550. No compiz effects in use. No matter what screen resolution or what theme, the gnome-panels are always only partly visible after boot or logout/login.
I also confirm the solution that worked in my case: By completely removing all compiz package by Synaptic, the panels were ok after boot or logout/login. lspci | grep -i matrox 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc.
