Saving panel settings

Hi,

The panel saves its configuration autoatically, why would you like to
"force" a save?

Regarding memory leaks, it can be a leak in the X server or in the
application, but Xfce won't cause leaks in other applications (ie if
Mozilla leaks, Xfce is not the culprit)

Cheers,
Olivier.
