So, 40px works well for you, I can use that as my default for width on
the sides... I use 0 (which means fit everything) so it looks rather odd.
However with my experimentation using smaller sizes cut off words.
I might post a bug for JWM to see if I can get text under buttons when
it the panel is oriented on the side.
That is probably the best fix
Can you run
xrandr | grep '*'
So I can see your display geometry.

right... so I should file a bug with Joe, I'll do this
