For the sidebar, it's good idea if your purpose is keep things hidden till
you want to use them.  My eyes don't notice things on the sides as much as
widgets on the top and bottom.  But for stuff like the system monitor,
having it top or bottom would be advantageous.  User testing would be an
appropriate mechanism to determine if this is true or not. :-)
