Right-click an existing panel and choose "Customize Panel" (or Main Menu
-> Settings -> Panel Manager). Click on the "+" to create a new panel.
In the lower part of the window there is a square consisting of 12
segments (3 for each side of the square) representing all possible
positions for a "Fixed Position" panel. Click on the one you want.

Thanks Andrei, but that's what I was saying. The 12 segments square is not available to the newly added panel, but only the the default top and bottom one. It's strange that the options are different to the newly added on from the default one.
