Yes it does. In fact, this reminds me one thing that should probably
change (as soon as it is simplified):
  ALL PANELS SHOULD BE FLOATING

This way, you _can_ drag the panel to wherever you want, as it makes
sense.

There's a few requirements though... 
  * if you drag it to an edge, it should stick to it like a strong
magnet.
    The word strong is there so that a noticeable amount of orthogonal
strength becomes necessary to detach the panel from the border (note: I
don't mean insane, but strong enough -- long in time -- so it can be
deemed intentional -- that way you can drag it to the corners, middle,
anywhere, but only when dragging away from the edge it will try
detaching)

   * provide an option to fill the whole edge or use minimum length
     this would probably require applets to suggest their preferable
lengths and/or giving a configurable minimum length for the panel, so I
don't know how feasible this is.

What do you think?
