I am personally in favor of leaving things as they are setup by
upstream. As it stands, Xfce is fairly easy to configure anyway
(although might be slightly daunting).

An alternative to setting up a default would be to include multiple
configurations in the Xfpanel-switch - which we are including by default
in the live images.

I would suggest taking a look at the available configs for
xfpanel-switch. If there are suggestions, I am open to including those
in the package.
