Automatically add panel to second monitor

[Cobalto]

I want to add a new panel to my external monitor automatically, but I don't want it to clutter up my main monitor when the external is not plugged in.

As it stands today, I right-click on my top panel, select New Panel to create a new one, right-click on that one, select Properties, select Bottom, right-click again, select Add to Panel, select Window List and Show Desktop, right-click on both, select Move and drag them left....every single day.

At night, I go home and delete the new panel, because I only use a single monitor and the panel is there, cluttering up my desktop.

How can I do all that automatically?

I had the same wish and found this link. Haven't tried it myself, but it might help:

Well, I tried it yesterday and couldn't get it to work. At all. It looked promising, but I failed miserably.
