Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I think that by right-clicking on the panels you should not be presented with
the options of creating a new panel and deleting the current panel.
Having these options always present may lead some users to accidentally delete
the top panel, with no obvious way to restore it. Also, the accidental creation
of a new panel may lead to confusion too (since in other operating systems you
have not the possibility to create and delete panels).
Also, ulterior "shock" on novice users is generated by accidentally "dragging"
a panel, moving it on the sides of the screen and not knowing how to restore it.
I propose to create a configuration application, based on the preexistent
properties window and placed on the System->Preferences menu. It should be
called "Panels", much like "Windows". From there you could
- Add a new panel, and configure it directly from the app.
- Select another preexistent panel (from a combo box, or list), and configure
it.
- Delete the selected panel, with confirmation.
- Restore the default settings for all panels.
In the popup menu for every panel shall be present only the Properties
item, which opens the configuration application.
