I found a simple fix to the problem although I still don't know the cause of the bug. My simple fix is go to the hidden directory ~/.gnome2 and delete the corrupted file ~/.gnome2/session. After deleting the file, simply reboot the computer and the top/bottom panels will re-appear. Everything is working fine now. By the way, I did not have Beryl running on my computer.
