If only that, and the buttons down the bottom didn't waste so much space
on empty space ... but unfortunately, our hands are tied somewhat by the
HIG.  Which seems to have been designed based on mid-80's mac-type
assumptions that everyone has exactly the same screen resolution and
monitor size.  And that size is a 90's assumption of a 19" LCD running
at 1600x1200.
