I'm quite on the fence with this.
while in theory makes sense being able to stack panels, it's a thing quite hard to \
get reliable, i just see too many problems with it. at least some conditions in the \
                behavior should be satisfied:
* should still be possible to position two or more panels on the same line, given \
                they don't overlap
* move and resize controls in the panel controller should continue to work reliably
* if two panels are stacked, any change of height of the bottom panel should cause a \
                correct repositioning of the top panel
* how does one decide what panel stays at the bottom and what panel gets stacked? \
                must be easy to switch them
* if two panels are on the same line because there is enough room, and one of the two \
resizes (by the user or spontaneously) the panels should be relayouted in two lines, \
with a consistent and reproducible decision of who stays on top and who stays on \
                bottom
* all the described behavior shouldn't break for more than two lines
