While we are at it, there is one thing that annoys me every time I try 
to modify panel plugin options via scripts/xfconf-query -- plugin naming 
of in the xfce4-panel section. Nothing to do with xfconf as such, just 
the way it is used by the panel.

Currently the hierarchy looks like:
/plugins/plugin-1
/plugins/plugin-2
...

I would much more prefer a hierarchy like:
/plugins/panel-0/whiskermenu-1
/plugins/panel-0/separator-1
/plugins/panel-0/launcher-1
/plugins/panel-0/launcher-2
/plugins/panel-0/launcher-3
/plugins/panel-0/separator-2
/plugins/panel-0/tasklist-1
/plugins/panel-1/tasklist-1

Cheers,
Andrzej
