Maybe "orphaned" configs should be used by new applets.

Let me explain:
I have no clock, so I add one and configure it.
Now I want a clock with a different timezone, so I add another.
After some time I add a childpanel and I want to move the "shifted" clock to 
it, so I remove it from kicker and add a clock to childpanel.
What I get? A brand new clock... What should I get? the last clock I removed.

What do you think? I don't think this is difficult to implement, but somehow 
you lose the ability to "reset" applets by adding/removing them.
But is this the correct way to reset to default settings? I think no, the 
<Default> button should be used instead...
