Hi,
seems neat, only a couple of doubts:
like Chani said i would have gone with a grid layout, but not that i have 
tried so i can't say what effort would be needed, maybe this is ok, don't 
know...
most important i wonder how this will cope with some still not implemented 
features (some that i would try to do and i'm always procastinating :P)

little panels, where there is not room for a second line (put an hardcoded 
condition or maybe depending on font metrics?)

vertical panels, where the tasks are put in a column(yeah, not supported at 
the moment) this patch should be deactivated in this case
but i think the final woed will be when aaron will return and say us what he's 
cooking for the panel :D

Cheers,
Marco Martin
