personally, i'm unsure why this menu entry is even there. imho people should simply go into system settings. this just makes one more place we have to manage which panels and in which order they are shown. is there really so much benefit to having it in the right click menu?

now, i say that as someone who uses that menu item fairly often. so for *me* it has value there as a shortcut, but i'm rarely using it as a *user* but as a *developer* and watching others use KWin it's not an often used entry either.

personally, despite my own use of this menu item, i think it's something best left to system settings.
