Comment 7 for bug 73343

Today, a friend just called me because his task bar was gone. He was lost and did not know how to get it back.

If we had the panel locked by default, users would not be able to remove accidentally things from the gnome panel. If they don't know how to use applets, it should be locked to avoid wrong manipulations.

Losing applets like gnome main menu or task bar is an important issue, even if it is a wrong manipulation of the user. We have found an easy way to solve it. There is already a gconf key for that. What are we missing to have this fixed ?
