[BUG] nwg-panel requires restart to show panel on all outputs

[JSGRD22]

Describe the bug
When a panel is set to "all outputs" and started, and a new monitor is then connected, nwg-panel has to be restarted before the panel shows on the new monitor.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set panel to "all outputs"
2. Connect a new output
3. Panel does not show on new output
4. Restart nwg-panel
5. Panel now shows on new output

Expected behavior
nwg-panel updates to show panel on all outputs immediately upon a new connection.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Fedora Linux 41 (Sway Atomic) x86_64
• Hyprland v0.44.1
• nwg-panel version 0.9.49

Panel instances are being created on startup. There's no way to do what you want.

Very well, it isn't hard to script either.
In case anyone else is looking for this, here is a script to restart nwg-panel when a monitor is connected (or more generally when the monitor connections are changed):

#!/bin/bash
udevadm monitor --udev --subsystem-match=drm | while read -r line; do
    if echo "$line" | grep -q "change"; then
        nwg-panel &
    fi
done

Edit: run nwg-panel directly to let it restart automatically

To restart nwg-panel, you just need to run the command. It will kill the currently running instance.
