This could be be very usefull I guess..

Quite a few panel settings are stored under the gconf key

	/apps/panel


If the panel listens for changes, it might be possible to create
a pannel by a little gconf-tool:ing... Well, a little experimenting
tells me that it does not listen for changes, but killall gnome-panel
did the trick. 


A similar idea:
When you create the first edge-panel in your desktop, I think the panel
should offer to add some usefull items for you. Like the foot-menu, a
taskbar, a clock and a few standard launchers (stuff like nautilus,
galeon, gedit...)

What do you think?
