p.s. Just noticed. If you don't see a cashew shaped thingy on the righthand 
end of your panel, it is because you have widgets locked. Just right click on 
the panel and unlock widgets, then you will see the panel cashew. You could 
also at this point just right click on the panel again and the context menu 
will have a "panel options, panel settings" choice.
