With regard to LXDE and lxpanel we have improved quite few related things in
the past prior to F16.
The problem is that lxpanel does not have a maintainer.
So if you have proposals for substitutions please file a lxpanel bugzilla
report and let the LXDE maintainer know about it. He will check things out
and package them if approved.
He made one substitution that I know of in a recent release so he is open to
that provided all other things are OK.
