The panel itself is a widget. I suspect something has corrupted in your
kde profile. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. However, I believe that
if you log off. Either log in as root and travel to you home folder and
edit plasma-appletrc you should be able to edit this file and remove any
"[Containments]" with panel plugins.
The file is located at /home/"your
username"/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletrc
If you don't want to loose all your desktop, you will need to make a
backup of the file just in case.
You will be looking for containment stanzas lines that begin with
[Containment][(followed by a number)] (ie [Containments][12]). Within
that stanza there should be a line that reads plugin=panel. There could
very well be more than one of these. If you that stanza, and then log
back in as you, the panel should be gone.

Hi Eli,
Thank you for the info. My plasma-appletsrc file follows. It all looks
OK. I now think it was some cross contamination from Gnome because just
to check I logged out and back in to a Gnome session and there was a top
panel with all the applets I was trying to add to the top panel I didn't
want in KDE. Logging back into a KDE session the rogue top panel was
gone. Thank you very much indeed for your help.
