The panel was there all along, a bare strip at the top: the first package's
panel.conf described a panel it never named in [General] panels=, so
lxqt-panel built itself a default one with no plugins. panel.conf now travels
with the app like the rest of the desktop's defaults, and the old nameless
file on a device is replaced once. The nested labwc output was 1280x720 -
wlroots' default window - with the desktop upscaled from that; rc.xml now
carries the app's surface size and the autostart sets it again via wlr-randr.
