Good reasons. On a sidenote, I think it's strange for such an
"industrial standard" to defaultly have a left- and right-bottom "dead
corner". If the default bottom-panel was left- or right-aligned, that
would be more efficient, windows could be usefully placed there. Still,
I understand your point.
