Comment 32 for bug 43066

I actually did learn enough to do this--see my post https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86382#c153. It worked like a charm, but it doesn't look as if anyone wanted to bite and roll that into a patch. Then I found out that AWN works just fine with a vertical panel, and that's what I use now.
