Greetings, I'm hoping someone can help get me out of a jam.

*My goal*
I am trying to have two InfoWindows open at the same time and set the
main box of the second InfoWindow's  position relative to the first (I
hope the terminology is passable).

*My situation*
 I have a custom clustering algorithm that figures out if two or more
markers are within X number of pixels of each other. If they are then
it sweeps them under a larger icon, which opens an (0) InfoWindow that
lists their titles. When the user clicks the title another (1)
InfoWindow opens. Everything is dandy, except the second window always
overlaps the first, which means the user must close it to select the
next marker in the list. I'd rather that they lay alongside each
other, so that I can leave both open while the user browses.

*Question in a nutshell*
I have seen the InfoBox, but I'd rather keep my interface looking
something like normal Google Maps, so essentially, I am asking, "Do I
have to write a custom InfoWindow to prevent overlap?".

*Simplified example on a map*
This just shows two InfoWindows open with the second window (1) on top
of the first (0): http://recalcitrant.us/simpleMap/simple_10192010.htm

*Already tried*
InfoWindow.pixelOffset is handy, but does not solve the problem as the
anchor will move too. (Weren't these independent before?)

Sorry, if this has been covered here before, I am having a very
difficult time finding relevant information. Please note, I have
scoured 
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#InfoWindow
for info, but I don't see the right property there. I don't mind
building a custom infowindow using Google's parts, but this seems like
a waste of resources.

Thanks for any help.
