would you mind giving me a link to those suggestions? I think it'd help me 
grok the current layout situation.

shouldn't be happening too often anyways. I wonder what should happen if an 
applet's size changes... the systray is the most likely to be expanding and 
contracting regularly (once it actually acts as if it's really in the panel). 
the layout should try to push other things out of the way - and then let them 
go back when it shrinks. wonder how kicker does that...

"if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself"
however, we don't have a way to clone you, so I guess you'll have to put up 
with other people doing their best.
