I'm cutting previous quotes, as many of the arguments in them are not 
immediately relevant to the question of a suuitable name.

I would argue against the use of "bar" in connection with the sidepanel.  It is 
not a bar in the normal understanding of the word in computing - a bar being 
long and thin and (typically) one icon tall, although there can be exceptions.

"Panel" or "box" is in my view more descriptive. 

We might consider variations on a car or aeroplane's "instrument panel" or 
"control panel" or perhaps a ship's "binnacle" or a human "nerve centre" or 
medically a "monitoring console".
