How are you re-arranging them? Dragging them about, or right-clicking
on a panel, opening the properties, and picking the top/bottom/sides
options?

Can't say I like it, either. The background's easily replaceable, but
the rest isn't so easy to deal with. I'd rather just type in username
and password, than have a list of things showing that I don't want
showing (imagine the mess if you had hundreds of users). It's also nuts
at inconsistently default selecting different users, so even a re-login
of the same user has to cursor arround. And the slowness between
picking a user before it lets you type in a password means that touch
typists have started typing their password before the gadget is
accepting input.
I tried replacing it with XDM, but that doesn't set up something that
Gnome needs. I haven't tried replacing it with KDM, I didn't want to go
down the root of installing KDE, even if only partially.
