Adding application launchers to Plasma 5 panel

[Roderick Johnstone]

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?

Thanks

Roderick
