I now know more about panel's config files than I ever wanted to know
trying to achieve the exact opposite - to supply local site defaults.

The config files for panel are in ~/.gnome/panel and ~/.gnome/panel.d/, if
you want Gnome's panel defaults to come up, nuke these.  If you want a
particular configuration to come up, put it there.  Note that there are
some hard-coded paths in ~/.gnome/panel.d/default/Applet_Config, changing
that is an exercise in sed.  =)
