Wrong is in the eye of the beholder. Some of the applets that align to the top are what we call "icon grids". If you were to increase the height of your panel, they would start to form columns as space became available and move over toward the beginning of the applet's area. I would claim that anything that is in one row should be centered, and continue to be dividing the empty space equally as it grows perpendicular to the panel.
I agree some of them look badly broken, like Menu and DirMenu, and this can be improved. Keeping things as simple as possible, we don't need a preference for this. At some point I will address the feature request. Thanks for your vote to increase its priority. We are finishing up some custom widgets that we will be using to do all layout and drawing, and these can be tweaked until they work properly. I do not plan to expend any effort trying to make the old widget structure work better.
