A remote gnome-panel seems to take over the local panel position
and then have a split-personality about which one should be there.
I just want the little menu button in its own window.

I don't want the whole desktops from all the other machines, just
the ability to launch any program available in any menu under
my local window manager with the usual cut/paste and positioning
control available.   That's the way most other X things work.
