Assuming you're using Ubuntu, you need to modify
/usr/share/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup-laptop.entries
(or /usr/share/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries if it's not
a laptop).

The content of the file is like a gconf dump (see "gconftool-2 --dump
/apps/panel", for example). So you could modify an account, dump
the configuration and copy the interesting part in the .entries file.

Cheers,

Vincent
