making the panel launcher opening the preferred apps by default?

[Pascal Potvin]

Aloha,

As I can see in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperDesktopPlan, the panel
will be modified from breezy to dapper. In any ways, a way of
migrating has to be thought of.

I suggest that in the gnome-panel properties window (right click on
the panel --> properties...), a button was added to reset the panels
to the original layout. That button could then be programmed to erase
all the panel configurations in gconf, and then put the original one
instead. It would also be an excellent and more accessible way for
dapper developpers to see what changes are being done in the panel
layout, and give their advices and opinions on it faster.

I'm kind of new here, and I don't really know if only devs should
answer here or anything. This is only an opinion, and some ideas.
