lxpanel.hints − Configuration hints for lxpanel plugins
This text collects some background information for configuration of plugins available for lxpanel(1).
The templates below use keywords boolean, integer, and string to denote the expected type of value for each instance. Currently boolean supports only 0 and 1 values. A few exceptions below are using explicit values in order to clarify the common usage. The plugins are introduced by name in a semi−random fashion. In practice a mixture of different stanzas Plugin are written in the order that they are to produce in the actual panel on the desktop.

/etc/xdg/lxpanel/"profile−name"/panels/panel
System default panel specification if no panels are defined in user configuration directory.
There ought to be some. Do point them out! The Debian package maintainer will take necessary steps and actions.
