Bug#645462: gnome-panel: [upgrade to gnome3] panel docked apps are not taken over into the Activities/Sidebar

[Norbert Preining]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 3.0.2-1
Severity: important

Hi all,

many people have customized panels and highly used program starters in the panel.
Upgrade to gnome3 just looses this completely. 
This is not acceptable.

Please allow an upgrade path that keeps or the upgrade by asking whether the user
wants to start from scratch or wants his docked program starters carried over.

Thanks
