When trying to use gkrellm, I continually find myself mistakenly 
associating the charts with the panel above them.  Is there a way to 
invert the standard chart+panel ordering?

I.e. currently Gkrellm shows up as the ASCII art at left; I'd like the 
right:

+-- thing1 ---+        +-- thing1 ---+
+-- thing2 ---+        +-- thing2 ---+
| thing3 data |        +-- thing3 ---+
| thing3 data |        | thing3 data |
+-- thing3 ---+        | thing3 data |
| thing4 data |        +-- thing4 ---+
| thing4 data |        | thing4 data |
+-- thing4 ---+        | thing4 data |
| thing5 data |        +-- thing5 ---+
| thing5 data |        | thing5 data |
+-- thing5 ---+        | thing5 data |
+-- thing6 ---+        +-- thing6 ---+
+-- thing7 ---+        +-- thing7 ---+


From the themes doc, I'd like:

      | |-----------------| |
      | |                 | |  Chart Monitor
      | |   chart area    | |
      | |                 | |
      | |-----------------| |
      | |   panel area    | |
      | |-----------------| |

to become:

      | |-----------------| |
      | |   panel area    | |  Chart Monitor
      | |-----------------| |
      | |                 | |
      | |   chart area    | |
      | |                 | |
      | |-----------------| |

But I couldn't seem to tease it out of the source code, since it uses 
"panels", "charts", and "monitors" in ways that didn't make it clear to me 
which was which or what I'd want to alter.

I ended up at gkrellm_panel_create in src/panel.c (which seems to be the 
place where the panel is positioned while having a reference to a monitor 
[=chart area?]).  I still can't quite figure out what I'd want to change.

Thanks for any assistance,
Ben
