	Notice from the name of this thread that I'm looking for a way to have two-up 
icons in vertical panels.  Someone suggested that QuickLauncher could do 
that.  It sort of does, but not quite.  So the search goes on.
	Is there a way, for instance, using the Control Center's Panel configurator, 
to let me stack two panels at the left side of the display, set to Small, so 
that icons in both panels appear two-up (in other words, in pairs), the way 
the icons in the System tray do?  Is there some other way to get that effect? 
QuickLauncher is one that almost works.  Are there others?
