Oh, that's neat.

I don't know which parts are interesting, so could I just do this:

gconftool-2 --dump /apps/panel > 
/usr/share/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries

Btw, yes I'm on Ubuntu. A cursory look at the output of the --dump and 
the panel-default-setup file suggests that the above line would do what 
I want.

Thank you very much.

Cheers,
Daniel.
