[chimera-dev] Model panel rename

[Eric Pettersen]

I guess I should add that the craziness only happens during the initial placement.  So for dialogs that persist even when hidden/closed (like the model panel) showing them again will bring them back wherever they last were.  May or may not matter to you.

In particular, there’s a bunch of timed waits to try to get accurate final size information for the dialog before it finally gets moved to its tiled position.  So, after a second or so, you might be able to move the model panel so that it’s upper left corner is at pixel position x,y (with the origin at the upper left of the screen) with:
