I just applied Thomas Rast's patch, so you'll need to rebase.  Also
you're right that we're running out of space; perhaps we need to make
the pane header two rows high.  Finally, "First parent" doesn't really
convey to me immediately what it does -- I have to think about it, so
it will probably confuse new users.  I don't know what would be
better, though.
