Charles, et. al.

No script needed. That's the hard way.

I go to the menu, the whisker menu in my case - I use XFCE.

  * Hover over the icon for an application on the menu
  * Left-click, holding the button down
  * Drag to the panel
  * Watch for a vertical, red line to appear
  * Release the mouse button.

It's tricky but works.

To re-position:

  * Right-click over the icon on the panel
  * Select MOVE
  * Drag and drop.

Note that panels can be backed up / saved for the future. I've found this to 
be useful to have after a re-install.

Good luck.
