4.080-1 Version still has placement problems. The menu button is on the right 
and I cannot get it back to the left. May have to do with the order widgets 
were placed originally on this panel. Minimized apps still do not show on the 
panel. Crashing problems that either came from kde3 applets OR from a negative 
vertical position (which I hand edited to 0) have not recurred.

The new panel properties, replacing size with word-processor type margin 
pointers and alignments works OK. It was not at all intuitive that the panel 
height could be adjusted by moving the top boarder (does it actually have 
one?). Found by accident and the panel height/icon sizes works correctly--it 
did not previously. The funny positioning behavior when locking/unlocking 
widgets is to make room for the addwidget icon to the far-right.
