You probably deleted the Notification Area on your panel.  Add it back.

To prevent just exactly these sorts of problems, I install gconf-editor on all
of my computers and lock the panel by running gconf-editor and setting
apps-panel-global-locked_down to true.

If you need to change the panel again in the future, just set that value back
to false, make your change, and lock it again.
