I'm looking to modify the Panels in Xubuntu. I'm running Ubuntu on most of my systems and I prefer to have both panels docked to the bottom of the screen.

It looks like this cannot be done in Xubuntu at all, as the panels will overlap rather than stack.

So I thought that I would move most applets to one panel and just enlarge it and make more space for the windows list. The problem with this solution is that most panel Icons enlarge to fill the vertical space, and expand horizontally so they are the same aspect Ratio so I don't gain any real space. I want these Icons to stay the same size and Tile vertically in the space provided.

I can do this with some Icons by setting up the Xfce Quick launcher, but volume control, the "show desktop" button, the Trash Applet can't be moved into the quick launcher as far as I can tell.

Anyone know how I can set this up?

Thanks
