See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75397

The props dialog is confusing, if nothing else.

From the bug:

> On the preferences for sliding panels, you can only position them to 
> the right or left.  a centered option would be quite handy, 
> particularly for CDE style panels.



Its not a matter of implementation details being leaked. There is no
way to "anchor" the sliding panel to the center.

typedef enum {
        SLIDING_ANCHOR_LEFT,
        SLIDING_ANCHOR_RIGHT
} SlidingAnchor;

struct _SlidingPos {
        BorderPos pos;

        SlidingAnchor anchor;
        gint16 offset;
};

This means that although you can adjust the panel so its is centered
you will have to re-adjust the position every time you add or remove
objects in order for it to remain centered.
