I suppose that it was in the top panel before I moved it to the bottom, 
I don't remember.  At any rate, It must not be the default, because 
Ubuntu provides cached program names in the panel, which I have made
to be on the bottom, if it wasn't already. (Why two panels anyway?)
I'm not looking for any applets, just the names of the files that are
presently "active but hidden'--that is, you snapped on the minus sign
in the window, and it doesn't occupy screen space anymore. A lot of 
Linuxes and all of Windows do this.
