create a "corner" panel, move all your applets to it ... remove the old
panel

not per se ... it's dynamic, so it's the size of the thickest applet ...
maybe in some version in the future there will be "size hints" for applets,
but it's not that way now ...

all gui ... right click on the panel for a panel menu, drag applets or
panels around with the middle button ... in the menus when you see a button
with three dots on it, click on it to add stuff to the panel
