@vectoradmin May I suggest moving Panels > Arrange Views menu item to the View menu? I would suggest under View > New View.
As a user it seems better suited there, as evidenced by the question and discussion above, but please let me know if I am missing the mark.
Also may I suggest moving View > Lock Panels to the Panels menu. Perhaps the first item in the menu list, where "Arrange Views" used to be. Again, let me know if I am off the mark in my suggestion.
Thank you for considering.
