I definitely think this is a good TODO item.  I plan to implemented this
on my clutter "drawer" I am using for my livecrumbs branch.  I think
that the code should allow the contents of the panel to scale between
say 25% and 100% and then start adding more columns.  This will allow
people a bit of customization to suite their tastes, but still keep the
concept over the overlay intact.
