But the things I want to define are not on the gconf-editor. I want to 
put an icon on the panel.

I'm dumb today, I don't understand this. How exactly would I change the 
default panel configuration? Are you suggesting that I edit a config 
file by hand or that I use gconf-editor? On gconf-editor, under schemas, 
I don't see any entry for 'panel'.

How do I do that though? I don't want to login to X as root, and 
gconf-editor doesn't seem to give me any options for adding an icon to 
the panel.
