I haven't done this, Steven, but if you look at Frank Condelli's
installation ... the propex doesn't reside entirely within the usable
area of that cabinet.  It appears that he modified the partition so that
it comes down to the top of the propex so it actually resides partly in
a previously inaccessible area.  Granted, some storage space is lost,
but not as much as in other locations.
