the four modes sound good. the question is whether they should be in different 
files or the same file.

if the same file, then PanelSvg would handle this and need to take an 
orientation. as an added win, then all panels could still share the same svg 
renderer, which can be fairly memory hungry, behind the scenes as they do 
now.

also, it means that we can put the fallbacks into PanelSvg: if a Left version 
doesn't exist, fall back to the default.

if different files, then the code needs to go into the individual 
containments/widets using it, including:

* picking the right svg name (easy)
* fallbacks for failure (easy but tedious)

the bonus to this approach is that we don't have to touch PanelSvg.

so in some senses it's a bit easier to go with multiple files, but in others 
it's not going to be (and result in duplicated code). combined with the 
memory usage hit, i'd like to see it all go into one file.
