panel with multiple rows?

I'm using openbox as windows manager. And now I'm searching for a lightweight panel which can handle multiple rows (say two) as the KDE3 panel. Does somebody know one?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know what you're definition of lightweight might be, but have you looked at the xfce4 panel? Screenshot is here.

Fbpanel is able to run multiple instances, each with its own configuration.

I guess since this thread is less than 6 months old, it's ok to post in it...

Aren't there any other panels that can do this? xfce4-panel is ok, but doesn't integrate very well with non-xfce environments.

lxpanel, but you have to hack the source:

This patch will hardcode the icon size for the taskbar plugin to 16.
