Deskbar panel mode

The multiple rows idea seems better to me than the current single wide 
stretch-everything-out method.  I also like the idea/possibility of 
allowing plugins to not scale at all with a user-changeable setting.

I don't recall hearing, how big is a row/column?  Is this something 
static, or can I set it like I can the panel height/width?

I personally wouldn't use stretched out (current wide) plugins if I had 
an option not to, but I can see where it could be useful: if a user was 
visually impaired.
