Multiple monitors, multiple panels

I have successfully managed to use Twinview with a panel on each monitor, containing only the active windows for that display. Every time I created an extra panel it was immovable, but that was fixed by turning off the "Expand" option in panel properties. Then I just moved it to the bottom of the second screen and added a Window List applet.

So now the panel on my main display shows active windows in that display only, and the second display has its own panel for its own open windows, respectively. I heart this.

I'm currently playing with the Expand option because when it's expanded for some reason minimized windows on the second monitor disappear off the edge of the screen. Gotta be something simple.
