[dev] Portal layout

If there is a clamor for this that's fine, but I would prefer to have  
fewer random config options of this type, not more. Eventually that  
sort of thing should be solved by more easily customizable global  
templates. Including the abilities to pull in blocks (or whatever we  
rename them to) wherever wanted.

How about if all of that was dynamically possible on the main view  
(again, see http://netvibes.com/)?

I've attached two small pngs showing a small panel with the full name  
and the Add Content link in it. These are actually in a container with  
the id #menuBottom; it can be positioned right or left, below the  
menu, up into the menu, theoretically you could use CSS to always put  
it at the bottom of the screen as well. Thoughts? I actually went  
ahead and did this in the templates so I can commit it asap.
