Hi Mark,
I'd just like the option to set it back, that is my only problem. I know I'm not the only one who likes the panel only on the bottom.
To give you a little information on my situation, I have a 30" monitor that's 2560 x 1600, so using two panels doesn't make sense for me, the default top panel has about 2,000 pixels of blank canvas I like to apply the "Window List" to that space. With two panels, I'm using 100,000 pixels for panels instead of just 50,000. I understand your reasoning though and I'm fine with simply adding a shortcut to the panel for closing the active window. I'm just glad that GNU/Linux is so versatile that I have these options available. Options are what makes the operating system so different from every other and the real value in it.
I can work around it just fine (hell I might even just start working on a panel app for this) but to leave out the option to change the behavior is the asinine part I was speaking about. Leaving out options and customization is a rather common reason many people have come to loathe Microsoft and Apple, and the greatest distinction that Free Software has.
