erf.. that was too much "aaron thinking about kicker, writing about plasma" 
going on. let me try again, this time more clearly: with kicker people would 
run alternative panels like kasbar. they didn't want that default panel at 
all. but they had no choice. fail.

now they do. the birds whistle and life is happy. it's very easy to set this 
up even: remove the existing panel, add a new one, configure it to your 
liking.

with the suggested solution, trying to have a non-default-type-panel set up 
"the plasma way" will be highly annoying: remove the existing panel, create a 
new one to set up "my way" and ... i get a default panel all over again! arg!
