Configuration
Configuration is done in the .pypanelrc file located at ~/.pypanelrc and is in fact written in python itself and therefore its editor must be aware of this fact. The default file that installs with the package is extremely well documented and provides examples in order to cater to those not familiar with the python scripting/programming language. An example snippet from the default configuration file:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Application Launch List: Ordered list of icons and applications for the
# application launcher.
#
# Add entries using the following format -
# ("<executable>", "<full path to icon>")
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
