Umbuntu Panel Icons location

I cant bear not knowing how things work, which is one on the reason I use Linux, but even Linux hides stuff from you, one of which is where the icons in your menu bars ACTUALLY live, so they can be backed up/restored and if they are on a second monitor and for some reason cant get to that monitor you can still get to them

Anyway, on Umbuntu, they are located in the directoy

/home/user/.gconf/apps/panel

The individual icons are found in the /objects/object_XX format with a new directory created with each icon (and kept even if they are deleted)
Which icons are are shown where and in what order is kept in the /general/%gconf.xml file
