panel plugin naming conventions

[Grant McWilliams]

It also is being used in panels.xml as an identifier it looks like. I was a
little confused because the order wasn't being stored in the
diskperf-4343434343.rc files. I see it's in panels.xml like this

 <item name="diskperf" id="11793370246"/>

So I come back to my first question, what's the best way to create this
number using the shell?

So if I'm following you correctly I just need to make sure that if I use
date +'%s' that I add a digit [1-9] to the end and make sure it doesn't
already exist?

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use
Windows."
Now they have two problems.
