Yes.  I'm modifying /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults so that the first time 
they login they get what I want them to get.  It looks like there aren't 
default panel settings in this directory.  It looks like that directory 
gets created based on the entries file.  So, for example, I removed the 
sound icon as root, used the gconf tool to dump the /apps/panel 
directory, and used gconf tool to load it into the default gconf 
directory.  That seemed to work.  I just assumed it would be the same 
for the update icon.  Is that the wrong way to do it?

I guess I still don't totally understand how it all works together.

Thanks,

Ron
