Hi Brian,

personally I would hate this. If I were using my homedirectory from
several machines I would ideally like to have separate panel layouts for
the different machines. In that case removal of the config file for an
applet removed from one panel on one machine would interfere with the
setups for the other machines.

Why would I like different setups for different machines? Well the
screen size may vary or I might have a dual head setup on some of the
machines.
