Re: `New' sub-menu in desktop's rightclick-menu

[Dave Bordoley <bordoley msu edu>]

I'm mixed on the create panel option mainly since in any sane setup the
user is going to have at least one panel running from which they can add
and remove panels. (It's impossible to remove all panels without not
running gnome-panel, and well thats just not sane). I'm tempted to say
that the cost of the feature, added cruft in the already overcrowded
desktop context menu, outweighs the benefit of having the option of
adding new panels. Adding new panels is not a common enough operation to
warrant it's inclusion in the desktop context menu.
