WHY WHAT AND WHERE

Now i think the most is done, there are even too many panels here ...

but of course i need to see better the javascripts and write them better...

i need to improve some panels especially gnome3 and others it will take time ..
left and right bar are a pain so i decided to replace everytime right \left panel with bottom panel, so you need to move them ..


PLEASE note these panels are only panels they ARE NOT EXACTLY LIKE gnome2\3 mac docks etc ... they are similar to ...

there are done to be useful for those users has switched to kde.

they are what they are. just test them if you want.
