Another UPDATE:
Instead of editing all the paths on the launchers on the new Linux I just went back to the original Linux and fixed them all there properly.
I just made sure that they all used %/Documents/etc,... in both the Command box and the Working Directory box in the launchers.
Then I only had to copy over the panel folder and do a reboot on the new computer and now all the launchers work without a hitch.
So that's definitely the way to do it. The only slight problem after that would be any WINE programs. I'm pretty sure they would need to either be edited or just recreated on the new computer. But at least the panels will be there with the non-working placeholders. That's good enough for me. I'll just recreate those launchers. I only have a few WINE programs and I don't mind cleaning up those launchers. This is still a huge time saver.
