the point is that you will also click on the ok button in this dialog if
you accidentally clicked onto "remove panel", just because of being used
to this dialog. this is what happened already several times to me and
AFAIK jasper, too.
having the dialog removed already prevented me two times from removing
the panel accidentaly as the dialog comes unexpected and therefor i read
it.

but restoring one's old panel is much more work than restoring a simple
plugin, since sensors-plugin is configured in 15-30 seconds and even the
mailwatch-plugin is so straight forward that you won't probably take
more than 2 minutes for 4 accounts, at least that's what it took me.

what about having a panel option "show remove confirmation on plugin
removal" which might be enabled by default, thus enabling me and perhaps
many others to not have this dialog.
