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.
