New panel in trunk

[Antonio SJ Musumeci]

It may be that they work more or less the same... i've not spent much 
time with the new panel. The comment about finding it difficult on a 
full panel to right click and get it's setting... i second that. maybe 
the panel as a whole in general should be able to be right clicked and 
put into an edit mode... andd then the plugins can have their opitions 
in a tabbed notebook or the like?
