Panel placement problems

[Reza Shah]

Hi,

I'm on master, and trying some simple test with panel placement behaviour
in single monitor and in two monitors.

I found some weird behaviours as the result.

I like to confirm this behaviour:
In single screen test, i have a default panel at the bottom and empty panel
at top.
Then tried addding 'empty panel' and 'default panel', the result was
'default panel' overlapped with
top panel, but the 'empty panel' placed in left edge.

Is this bug or by design ('default panel' will always go to top edge and
'empty panel' will try to look for empty edge)?

As for real bugs:
- The empty panel placed in left edge as stated above has the top left part
overlapped with existing top panel, so we can see some gap between the left
panel's toolbox icon and bottom panel.

- In two monitor setup, the 'Default panel' added, most of the time didnot
have toolbox icon (seems the width was wider than screen size). But for
'Empty panel' the panel rendered properly.

I tried reading the source codes in kdelibs and kde-workspace but could not
follow.
For example in case of 'Empty panel' placement at left edge, where is  the
calculation of it's initial position performed?


Regards,
Reza
