I'm finding it useful to have two panels placed at the same corner of the screen. There is a problem with this, though: they overlap. There are a few possible solutions: one is to allow an offset from the corner of the screen, another is to stack the panels, with higher-numbered panels' positions being offset by the height or width (opposite to orientation) of each lower-numbered panel at the same corner, taking full-width panels into account. Or just move one of the panels elsewhere, but I don't want to do that :-)

Heh, another day, another patch from you ;-) That's really great, but I'm afraid I kinda suck at reviewing them at the moment. Sizing and positioning have always been tricky somehow, so I probably won't add this for 4.4.0. It does sound like a good thing to have, so I am definitely going to look at it more closely. Thanks for the work your putting into this!
This bug makes it impossible to use vertical and horizontal full-width panels together. And that prevents me from repeating panel layout I was used to in GNOME :(. Also the patch does not help in this case.

4.8 panel allows locking the panel on a screen position.
Devel branch has been merged in master. A 4.7.0 release will follow soon. If you think this bug is not fixed? Feel free to reopen the bug.
