I just might want to add that the confirmation box only makes sense when =
it removes this useless move-the-kicker feature forever.

Just to have a confirmation box that doesn't change the current behaviour=
 is quite useless.

This is no productivity-feature (it is actually working against it), it's=
 a configuration-feature.
Config-stuff belongs into kcontrol and maybe in the context-menu, but the=
 user-interface should not be bloated with configuration stuff in day-to-=
day use, IMO.
If you right-click on kicker and choose "configure panel" the very first =
option is the position of the panel, so I really, really don't think that=
 anybody has to be afraid of users not finding that option in the very ra=
re case they want to change their panel position.

Just because something is in Windows doesn't make it right.
