You're right, this would suck. 

Another option might be to have explicit "profiles" for the panel,
much as I was trying to explain for gnome-terminal. Then the profile
used would be per-session, but as long as you only had one profile you
would never lose a setup by changing sessions.

My right-click menu is the same as the foot menu. I would expect it to
have things like Properties... for the current panel, Remove This
Panel, Add Applet To This Panel, etc. (you could remove the word
"this" if all the items are obviously for the current panel)
