Mock up is fine, but beleive we should also attempt to establish additional
unimplemented drawing controls (brushes, pattern fills, erasure, masking,
stamps, .etc) in the "drawing tools" pane.

Yes it would be good to have as many vector drawing controls that are found in
similar apps.

As I've mentioned, Draw should have a Page tab in the Sidebar for doing
layout and design.  But moving PDF and other "page previews" into a Sidebar
"Pages" content panel on the *Right* would not necessarily be the best UX.

My suggestion of having a pages tab in the sidebar relates to other similar
apps having a layers section within the right sidebar. The only similar apps
that have a pages pane/section in its left area is Calligra Flow and MS
Publisher.

Draw  and filter import to .ODG is the primary module for handling PDF--the
current *Left* Side pages pane provides the navigation of PDF documents.
Position on the *Left* in that role is what most users/programs are familiar
with.

Yes it is best to keep it on the left so that it is possible to navigate
between pages and also work with properties of the sidebar at the same time.
The pane just needs to be reduced to its smallest size, so there is more
document area room, especially if the document is in landscape view. I would
consider that having the pane in its enabled but hidden state is likely the
best default view, as there isnt a need to see the pane when a document only
has a single page in it.

Beleive the Pages preview pane in Draw uses the same Slides pane from
Impress--could be that both will have to be reworked--either as Sidebar
components, or as now as but as optional panes.

Yes draw and impress share the same code, so the pane is the same between the
two.

It would be useful to have the right sidebar expanded by default.

Vertical toolbar attached left is not that awkward, retaining the Pages view
pane left and inboard feels comfortable.  Will ask a few folks to test drive
the new layout. 

Look forward to hear more feedback. :D Any code pointers on how to reduce the
size of the pane?
