I'm not sure what you mean, but only in the default configuration the
panel is symetrical. Anyway, I'd like to have more opinions on this
one. I have no preference either way.

I want the handles to be always available for its right-click menu to
access configuration, see also next point.

Yes, but you can hide the minibuttons! I use the panel that way. I like
the close button :-). 

The minimize button, I'm not so sure about. Why would anyone want to
minimize the panel? I think I'll leave it in for historical reasons. 
I'm curious, does anyone ever minimize the panel?

this.
