--- Comment #22 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
(In reply to Luke from comment #21)
... 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.


Hmm, they really are still the same issue--the underlaying code is still a
Sidebar Deck and Tabbar--they're just in an undocked state. Of course they
could receive min/max width attributes while docked and a set while undocked.
And of course as more docking sites are defined that has to be recorded as
well.

1) What good are the "dynamic GTK .UI based widgets" when they cannot
accessed by the user?

In fact they currently can be, as extension or macro. What is currently missing
is Drag & Drop GUI, or Customization GUI as with Toolbars.

2) Why do we want to a system where the user is constantly tweaking the
width instead of providing one that just works?

There is nothing wrong with giving the users that flexibility. It sucks now
because nothing is retained. But that will get fixed, and then what? Moving
beyond current implementation is better served by keeping things flexible--not
by locking it down.
