I saw the Center item in that menu and in fact, I tried it, but it
didn't do anything... at first glance.  I found the slider and adjusted
it and now I have a centered panel.

So... next question... If I remove the task manager widget from the
panel, where do apps go when I minimize them ?  Or do I need a second
panel for that ?
