  I was wondering about this, actually...it seems to me like it's a bad
idea to have only GUI configuration for the panel.  Then you get cases
like what happened to me..somehow my gnome-session and panel lost all my
settings and reverted to their original state; worse, the settings I
made weren't added.  I poked around in .gnome and found files with my
old settings but I couldn't figure out why they weren't being read...
  I finally wiped my settings and started over.  But gnome really needs
text-file configurability.  It's a Linux program, right?....
