I just solved this room yesterday.  The key to the puzzle is to use
an object you don't need anymore to help you trip the panels.

I find it interesting to note that THROWING an object into this field
does not teleport the object, whereas all other fields I have encountered
do teleport thrown objects (ie. this is a bug).  (However, other methods
of teleportation work fine.)

Overall, DM is a great game -- but I prefer more puzzles and
less mapping (ugh!).
