Yeah, GNOME panel used to (maybe it still does) have support for
different configurations that you could switch between to suit different
tastes or screen resolutions... like a lot of panel configuration
features in those days, though, it was all a bit complicated and with no
GUI to support it (other than what Ximian concocted themselves), so it
may well have been yanked by now.

Cheeri,
Calum.
