Hi again
While this prescription seems to work for the current user and the
configuration (as well as other panel customisations) seems to be saved
in a file /home/<user>/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc,
when I copy that file to /etc/xdg it doesn't seem to be used by a new
account as the default panel configuration in the same way that eg a
copy of kwinrc in /etc/xdg is.
Does the configuration of the default panel work in a different way?
Yes, plasma (and it's applets) don't typically use the usual kde kconfig
system.
Plasma customization can be achieved by writing javascript snippets, see
