In my setup, the auto-hide panel at the bottom only has the window list,
which I rarely (if ever) use.  All the menus, direct buttons, applets,
etc. I use regularly are on the right-hand (non-auto-hide) panel.

The only thing I really miss with this setup is the clock.  Some bright
person changed the clock applet so that if you add it to a vertical
panel, it writes the time sideways, which (a) takes up a bunch of space
and (b) is difficult to read.
