2 Panels?

gtk 1.x had panel at the bottom.
getting rid of it would have annoyed people like me.

other people think it is a better idea to have the panel at the top.

I strongly suspect (but i am only guessing) that having the two panels
was a less than ideal
compromise.
It has the advantage of showing users what is available, although I
suspect most users pretty quickly turn one of them off.
