The reason i have to delete the file is because of when people login at a 
diferent location with a diferent resolution the panel will never grow to a 
wider width. 
Take for instance the following example script located 
@share/kde4/apps/plasma-desktop/updates/resizepanel.js :

sleep(1000)
panel = panelById(panelIds[0]) 
panel.length = screenGeometry(panel.screen).width  /2
panel.height = 40 
panel.alignment = "center"
This script is run only once, and if you have "roaming" users with diferent 
systems/resolutions your panel will eventually be left at the bottom left with 
a smaller with as the smaller resolution.

I guess that's a bit basic but these are my values running the following js 
and values seem to be okay.

sc = screenCount
sh = screenGeometry(sc.screen).height
sw = screenGeometry(sc.screen).width

print( "screenCount = " + sc )
print( "Screen Width = "  + sw )
print( "Screen Height = "  + sh )

Executing script at 2012-06-06 16:40

screenCount = 1
Screen Width = 1680
Screen Height = 1050

Runtime: 2ms
