LXDE lxpanel taskbar config broken if first run of gui does not have a monitor attached

This was all tested using:

Linux raspberrypi 3.2.27+ #250 PREEMPT Thu Oct 18 19:03:02 BST 2012 armv6l

It seems that when you first use the LXDE GUI you need to have a monitor attached or the config files for the lxpanel taskbar get broken.

If I do a clean write to an SD card and connect up a monitor via HDMI and boot and then startx everything works fine, I get a lxpanel taskbar at the bottom of the screen.

However, if I write a clean image to an SD card, connect an Ethernet cable only and then log in via ssh using MobaXterm and issue the lxsession command I receive this error:

** (lxpanel:2356): WARNING **: Config files are not found.

and I get no lxpanel task bar at the bottom of my screen.

the directories:
~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/

are created as normal, but the LXDE directory is not populated with the config files, which it would be normally with a monitor connected on first run of the LXDE gui.

Subsequently connecting a monitor via HDMI and typing startx I still do not get the taskbar at the bottom of my screen and do not get the config files copied to the config directory.

I can remove the ~/.config/lxpanel directory, and it will be recreated, but it will only be populated with the actual config files if I remove it and then connect a monitor to the HDMI port and then type startx.

Please let me know if I can provide any further information.

Edit: I should point out I can manually fix the problem of no taskbar by doing this:
cp -rp /etc/xdg/lxpanel/profile/LXDE/* ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/

and it is my understanding that LXDE should read the default config files when it does not find the config files in the local user's home directory.

I am an idiot, my apologies for any wasted time, this does not belong here, I mis read the bug reporting blurb on the raspbian main site.
