Doesn't sound any more challenging than deciding what happens if the screen has 
been resized small enough that the top-relative and bottom-relative 
specifications start to collide.

Having the screen resize or a monitor disappear in between starts of the system 
is a real pain.  You have to do something sensible to make sure most of what 
was configured is still visible somewhere, or its control knobs at least 
accessible from what is left, so you can reconfigure it onto a visible screen 
or delete it.  This did not work well with having the only way to get to a 
panel's configuration dialog be from right-clicking on that panel.
