These three can be done with click-and-drag (well, I assume the screen 
option can - I've never used more than one screen), providing there's a 
guaranteed anchor point for the mouse on the panel.

Possible options are:
*context menu (needs anchor point, can also provide Move to Screen 
option),
* special button (as in kicker, will get complaints if not configurable)
* magic mouse press, such as double-clicking empty panel (not easily 
discoverable, but easy to accidentally trigger)

Any others?

I'm not sure how you'd avoid a dialog of some sort for these.  One 
possibility is having something extend up from the panel (a la device 
notifier or the calendar on the clock), but then there is the question 
of how to trigger it.
