Cool !
But as I suggested before, I think your panel can only be optional. Not only 
because it takes some space, but also because many users do not want to be 
bothered with panels... That's why I suggested to use the status bar, which 
is always there (although it can be turned off too !).
But the two solutions can be used simultaneously, I think they are 
complementary !

Benoit.
