A problem with this approach is that the panels appear every time you
use 'rox -n'. Also, consider what happens if I ssh into my work machine
from home and type 'rox': my work machine's panel will appear over by
home machine's one.

My plan was:

- Make the side a property of the panel (store it in the pan_NAME file).

- Replace --top, --bottom, --left and --right with --border (-b ;-) and
  get it to use the saved size value (new panels appear on any free side).

- Give each panel its own options box, with the side in it (and width,
  style, etc, so these can be per-panel).
