Can we switch default panel item order?

I mostly agree. I hate having wasted screen space, especially on a
1024x800 (or smaller) screen. If I used the desktop-click menus more,
I'd be more of a fan of a non-maximized bottom bar. By leaving a small
square or so of desktop visible in the bottom right corner, I would
always be able to access the right-click desktop menu easily.

That's what I do in fluxbox, when I'm using it. In Xubuntu though, I
have shortcut icons in the top menu bar for my most used programs, so
it's not really a big deal.

Since the menu in the top-left is so good, I don't think leaving
desktop always exposed is really needed. If that's the case, then
having the menu bar go 100% wide does make it easier to hit the
corners of it.
