Method get_panel_orient

  `int get_panel_orient()`

Description

  Gets the orientation of the panel this widget is on. it can be one of GNOME_Panel_ORIENT_DOWN, GNOME_Panel_ORIENT_LEFT, GNOME_Panel_ORIENT_RIGHT and GNOME_Panel_ORIENT_UP. This is not the position of the panel, but rather the direction that the applet should be "reaching out". So any arrows should for example point in this direction. It will be OrientUp or OrientDown for horizontal panels and OrientLeft or OrientRight for vertical panels
