Title:
  Window list behaves bad when panel is vertical.

Status in Desktop panel for GNOME:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-panel package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in libwnck package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  Ubuntu dapper

  Use default panel settings.

  Put gnome-panel that contains window list on right or left edge of screen.
  Also drag gnome-panel that is on top to some side of the screen.

  You will see a lot of weird behaviour there.

  Window list will be almost unusable when panel height is small - only
  icons are visible, and text with application names is invisible
  because these buttons are not rotated 90degrees.

  While clock and main menu (applications/places/system) will be rotated
  and text will be visible.

  Someone should provide some HIG standard to these panel elements while
  panel is vertical.

  In fact I'm not sure which behaviour is better...

  Window list is almost unusable, but also clock and main menu that is
  rotated is not comfortable at all :-)

  Please provide some better ideas or just block an ability to put
  gnome-panel on right/left edge.
