My second palette column labels are not rendered correctly. Looks like a 
font issue (rare unicode characters?):

(again,  I am on Ubuntu Maverick 10.10, gtk2, etc.)

I see what the symbol should look like, thanks to Andreas Schneider's 
attachment.

Also, it's awesome to be able to customize these things.   I don't think 
too many commercial (or non-commercial) alternatives out there allow you 
to customize your environment to THAT extent.

However, yes, it would be cool to beef up the docking algorithm, to lay 
multiple horizontal palettes on the same "line", rather than be 
invariably vertically stacked. (Denemo would compute current dimensions 
and decided if they are dock-able that way, based on horizontal pixels 
available.  See? We think of more complex algorithms, and then task you 
guys to spend hours coding them.. Yeah! THAT's how that works!! ;-))
