Additions to the panel (like adding a launcher) only affect the current
user.  I've tested this.  The only difference would be if you're running
as root.  Then, you can actually edit the /usr/X11R6/share/gnome space,
and you could make global panel changes.  You may want to verify you
haven't set anything setuid to root, you're not actually logged in as
root, and you don't have any write permissions under
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome.
