We've been recently using more of Panels in our Drupal projects, and for the most part it's been very rewarding as we've been delving deeper into it.

But one issue that I've had with Panels recently is how to create template (tpl) overrides for a specific panel panes. There is a panels-pane.tpl.php, but that's it. You can't create a panels-pane-my-pane.tpl.php override, like you can with core template files like node.tpl.php or with views, for example. This means that you have to potentially resort to adding logic in your panels-pane.tpl.php, which we are loathe to do there.

One car ride, two planes, a taxi, and we're exhausted.  We'll be up early tomorrow for the breakfast buffet at the Hard Rock Hotel and then off to the Acquia Partner's meeting.
