Oh, i didn't even know about this feature :)

Had a quick look at the code, it seems this list length value is
stored in the Panel struct, which kind of works, but IMHO is a hack
(as are so many other things ...)
It's also a bit limited, e.g. if you have multiple lists in the same
panel they will all have the same length (granted this is not common,
usually there is not more than one list in a panel).
