a little proposal on keeping both standardization and flexibility
it could have an enum with some standard sub elements, for example:
enum SubElement{
 Default,
 North,
 Easth,
 West,
 South,
 UserElement
}

and one would call paint(painter, rect, SubElement) to paint (and the right 
string would be chosen from the subelement value)
if an applet wants to define an additional prefix 
it could define an enum with values as UserElement+1 UserElement+2 and so on.
and use the function
panel->addPrefix("foo", Foo)
where Foo is UserElement+something
