Gnome uses taskbar and panel: "TaskBar displays icons of running applications on the top panel or alternatively on a new bottom panel." It seems taskbar is a specialized panel, in that case "panel" would be appripriate. I think we need some words describing whatever term gets used.
Sidebar is new to me, a panel on the side?
