Subject: [PATCH] bar: centre the row vertically instead of pinning it to the
 top
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Wrapping the bar row in a vbox to gain the drawer slot left the CenterBox at
its natural height, so it sat at the TOP of the window and the remainder
showed as dead space along the bottom edge. Every valign:Center child then
centred within that short box rather than within the bar, and the whole row
rode high.

The clock was the one element that looked right, because it carried a
margin_top(3) nudging it back down. With the row centring properly that offset
would push it below everything else, so it goes too — the compensation and the
bug are the same change.
