V Stuart,
You talk about all of these great UI features that we give the users like
detaching the pane as if they are somehow in conflict with this feature. They
are NOT. Once the pane is detached, the sidebar is no longer a sidebar. It's
not at all related to this topic. Width limits on them are separate issue all
together.
Finally you fail to address the key issues here:
1) What good are the "dynamic GTK .UI based widgets" when they cannot accessed
by the user?
2) Why do we want to a system where the user is constantly tweaking the width
instead of providing one that just works?
I never find myself resizing the toolbar because a large icon doesn't fit. The
toolbar doesn't require constant adjustment to be functional. When I use the
LibreOffice sidebar, sometime the controls that I'm looking for have been
resized off the pane. So I have to resize the sidebar to make them fit. This is
a bug. It's not a feature. You are not giving the user anything, just making it
harder for them to do their work. There is no benefit. It's ugly. I use several
applications with side panes and LibreOffice is the only one forces me to make
adjustments to make it usable.
