Default settings apply only for new user. If an account has already been used then the panel configuration has been written as an user setting and will not reflect any system change. Any reason you want to force your changes over existant users that might have already customized their configuration?
Yes, there are some reasons. For example, we want to give our customers with an update a better panel layout with some useful buttons on it. And so on. The customers settings should be merged with the new default panel configuration.
There is no option saying "user has made no change to his profile yet", so it's not easy to determine if that's ok to overwrite the user setting or not without asking them ... There is no gnome-panel interface for that at the moment. The profile describes the panel layout basically and there is no "add that object to that position" functions you can use. If you want to apply a profile you need to overwrite the previous one
Perhaps this should be an upcoming gnome application. A so called "Panel Configuration Tool" oder "Panel Layout Managment Tool".
Okay, what i could do is: I don't have to make updates of our panel layout packages. We should use one panel layout and don't change it.
What does Ubuntu in this case? Will Ubuntu never change the default panel settings in the next versions? Or will Ubuntu change it and existing users they updated the system can't use it because "an user setting and will not reflect any system change"?
