I think that unskilled users use computers by memorising actions.  For example adding a widget would be click panel button -> click add widgets.

If anything along that path is different (for example if they accidentally locked the panel without realising it) then they will normally freak out and not be able to accomplish the task, or at least spend twice as long doing it.

At the moment the panel button disappears so to simply add a widget you have to find some 'panel space' and then right click and unlock, then back to step 1.  This is fairly hard if you do not have a right mouse button.

I think the panel button should stay because it requires the least brain power to accomplish the task of 'add a widget' assuming the user does not know if the desktop is locked or not.
